@qdm12 is more or less the only maintainer of this project and works on it in his free time. Please:

• do not ask for updates, be patient
• :+1: the issue to show your support instead of commenting @qdm12 usually checks issues at least once a week, if this is a new urgent bug, revert to an older tagged container image

Note there is already ip2location supported, see https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/options/others.md

I'll have a look at supporting more, thanks for the detailed issue 👍 Although not a super priority right now 😉

Consider using https://ipapi.is/

Our free plan includes the full API output compared to the limited output of other APIs

I will give you unlimited requests for free if you sign up at https://ipapi.is/app/signup

Reason: ipapi.is once started as a open source project and it is time to give back

I work for IPinfo; however, I am not very familiar with the code of the project. Here are our features:

• Tokenless access: 1,000 requests per day without an access token. The limit is set by IP addresses.
• Free Token access: 50,000 requests per month with a free tier access token.
• Fetching public IP address: Unlimited. Call the /ip endpoint for IPinfo API (https://ipinfo.io/ip ).
• Free IP databases: We have three free IP databases you can choose from: https://ipinfo.io/products/free-ip-database

We have the most generous tier available out there considering features like free HTTPS/SSL, equal access to our superfast API infrastructure and high-accuracy data. Although I have been following the project for a while, I was not aware this was an issue and should have responded immediately. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
