What would you like to be added or improved?

I am requesting to add support for IPinfo's IP to Country database to the project. The database has the following features:

• It includes country and ASN information in the same database.
• It is updated daily, with zero compromise to accuracy. There is no range clustering, and the database provides full accuracy.
• The data granularity reaches individual IP level.
• The database comes in MMDB database format.
• It is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, permitting commercial usage.
• Available file formats include: CSV, MMDB, JSON
• The data is tabular and unnested, making it very easy to use. The dataset includes both IPv4 and IPv6 in a single file.

Samples are available here: https://github.com/ipinfo/sample-database/tree/main/IP%20to%20Country%20ASN

The database can be downloaded simply by accessing the storage URI with an access token.

curl -L https://ipinfo.io/data/free/country_asn.mmdb?token=<YOUR_TOKEN> -o country_asn.mmdb

### Why is it needed?

Integrating IPinfo's IP to Country ASN database would bring highly accurate country, ASN, and ISP data to the platform. Moreover, since the license is open source-friendly, this will fit perfectly with the platform.

- Provides precise country, ASN, and ISP data down to individual IP addresses, ensuring accurate identification.
- Includes both IPv4 and IPv6 in a single, comprehensive dataset, covering all necessary IP information.
- Updated daily to ensure the WAF platform operates with the most current data.
- Licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, allowing open-source and commercial use, ideal for integration into open-source WAF platforms.
