I talk a little about it in the article, but the main goal was to build something simple that works as proof of concept.

This brute force approach works much better than I expected as long as you have enough probes and a bit of luck.

But of course there are much better and smarter approaches to this, no doubt!

How did you know how well these results work?

You mention the quality several times in the article but it's not clear how this is verified. Do you have a set of known-location-ip-addresses around the world (apart from your home)? Or are we just assuming that latency is a good indicator?
