The present invention is directed to methods and systems for querying a database of geofences, with each geofence in the database being associated with a plurality of geographic coordinate points. The method and system convert an IP address, preferably an IPv6 address, to a geographic coordinate point and identify any geofence anchor points associated with the geographic coordinate point.
