Suggested solution:
If you have a particular solution in mind, please share it here.

I would recommend checking out one of the two solutions from IPinfo:

1. Integrate the IPinfo API service without an access token.
2. Integrate the IPinfo free IP-to-Country database.

Option 1: Use the IPinfo API service
IPinfo's API service allows up to 1,000 requests per day from unique IP addresses with an access token, or the end user is required to sign up to use the service. This means that if you integrate the API as a frontend API call, you can get city-level data fairly easily without much complexity. The location context can then be utilized easily.

Documentation about the IPinfo API: https://ipinfo.io/developers/responses#free-plan

Option 2: Use the IPinfo free IP database service
IPinfo's free IP-to-Country database uses a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license, which means you can either package the database within the repo and distribute it, or add a project-specific IPinfo access token to download the database to your machine as needed.

Aside from the context-specific solutions, IPinfo's service, even in its free tier, provides one of the most accurate and reliable data sources, with regularly updated data delivered with full accuracy.
