It takes time. Note that geolocation information is often incorrect, sometimes wildly so. Websites get location information from third parties and it's a somewhat dark art. Essentially websites you provide location information to make extra $$$ by selling your location and IP address info to geolocation providers, who turn around and sell that information to companies who want to know where you are located. It's common for different geolocation providers to report different locations. See, for example, the various results reported by https://www.iplocation.net/ip-lookup.

When you say "Internet server", what are you referring to exactly?
