The following thread may have the answer you’re looking for:

game:GetHostLocation()

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to accurately get the hosting location of a Roblox server that is being played on. If such a feature existed, it’d allow developers to do various things, such as improve matchmaking through use of prioritizing servers closer to the user, or even having certain builds/GUIs cater to the user in single-player games. More information/a proposed implementation can be found below. Proposed Implementation When the forum about the Server List Update was…

Here, I made a function that gets the IP of the server, then gets the Geo location of the server. Make sure to have HTTP requests enabled. this will return a tuple. The results are for example: FL, Florida

function GetServerRegion()
	local http = game:GetService("HttpService")

	local result
	
	local g,b = pcall(function()
		result = http:JSONDecode(http:GetAsync("https://api4.my-ip.io/ip.json"))
	end)

	local ip = result.ip
	
	if g and ip then
		local location
		local good,bad = pcall(function()
			location = http:JSONDecode(http:GetAsync("http://ip-api.com/json/"..ip))
		end)
		if good and location.region and location.regionName then
			return location.region , location.regionName
		else
			warn("fatal error fetching server geo location. error: "..bad)
			return nil, nil
		end
	else
		warn("fatal error fetching server ip. error: "..b)
		return nil, nil
	end
end

How do you use this to get an EU server and where exactly do you put it to join that server? Say if I want to join a Germany server in Arsenal for example. Where would I put the code and how do I join? I have absolutely zero experience in code so bear with me.

Alright so HTTP service only works on the server, meaning you can’t run the code on any game yourself. This would have to be implemented by the devs of Arsenal. All that code up there does is tell what country/region the Roblox server is in.
