- postila 10y agoThanks, this is obvious answer and very old project, I used it more than 10 years ago and just curious is there anything more lightweight, fast and maintainable. Found this wrapper for Maxmind GeoLite2 DB: http://freegeoip.net/ http://freegeoip.net/ It's easy to install&run (docker), but takes ~5-10ms on localhost to process a request locally, which is not bad but definitely not excellent for light database (GeoLite2). Also, according https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-city-database-accuracy https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-city-database-accuracy, accuracy of GeoLite2 is not that good. So, I'm looking for anything better. I need only countries, language/wrapper/technology doesn't matter, but the speed is crucial factor.
