A location of a client in a private network where the client has a plurality of interfaces for using a plurality of internet gateways for coupling with the public internet can be determined by sending, from the client, a plurality of STUN BINDING requests to a STUN server connected to the public internet that each exit through an individual internet gateway, receiving, at the client, a plurality of STUN BINDING responses from the STUN server that each include public IP address mapped to the internet gateway through which the STUN BINDING request has exited the private network, sending, from the client, a plurality of location requests that each include a mapped public IP address and the corresponding private IP address, to a location server for looking up location data for the respective private IP addresses so the client can receive location data relating to the public IP addresses.
