I expect we load the JS from our own hosted open-source freegeoip instance - using open-data from MaxMind Free.

We want to keep using a self-hosted solution.

If these guys are turning the open-source project into a commercial hosted service, there will be for sure a community fork - so we may need to update a docker image probably? To be discussed.

Related to this ... I noticed this morning in Chrome Version 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit) the call to freegeoip was blocked because using http instead of https.

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://epsg.io/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script 'http://freegeoip.net/json/?callback=_callbacks_._0jqv1p99g'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

Thanks for a great service.
