wishlist: geoip use remote api provider

[ftoledo]

Thanks! Simple and great monitor tool !!

I just use a GeoLite2-City.mmdb and my IP show a wrong location: 201.212.161.2 | San Nicolás de los Arroyos, B, Argentina

I test with https://www.maxmind.com/en/locate-my-ip-address and this have more accurate and updated

201.212.161.2 | AR | Sarandi,Buenos Aires,Argentina,South America

I think if possible to add remote providers instead of the local database file. Just thinking as plugins to permit to get more sites to be supported at future.

Saludos!

Sounds like you have an out of date mmdb database. You can use the geoipupdate program to update the database, or you can download it directly

how do i get the location to work, i setup the GeoIP.conf file correctly with my key and account # , got latest version of geoipupdate and also updated db. still location is unknown

Are you sure that geoipupdate downloaded the files in the location openvpn-monitor.conf is looking? And are you sure your location is correct in the new geoip database?

i already solved it by indeed doing what u said u0m3
