#Signup Replace Geo::IP with Geo::Lite (or upgrade)
There is no Geo::IP free version any more; there is something called GeoLite so we have to redo the code that uses Geo::IP to use a different module and sign up for GeoLite:
https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite-free-ip-geolocation-data
We then need this to use/read it: https://metacpan.org/pod/IP::Geolocation::MMDB
Note that GeoLite only allows 1000 queries per day and we use it in Apache::Runbox::Webmail so we might need to subscribe to Geo::IP.
To be clear, there is no limit on the number of queries that can be made to the GeoLite database. The limit on the page is for the separate GeoLite web service. I realize the wording is confusing.
