Title: GeoIP2 questions
Post by: dcol on August 05, 2021, 08:54:23 pm

I now have a subscription to GeoIP2. I ran GeoLite2 previously and used the following URL:
https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-Country-CSV&license_key=<MY KEY>&suffix=zip

I assume I now use:
https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoIP2-Country-CSV&license_key=<MY KEY>&suffix=zip

I cannot tell if it is working since I do not know how to force an update, or know how to apply a twice weekly update. I also assume that the alias cron job does the GeoIP2 update.

Are my assumptions correct?

The guide how to configure / setup geoip also include a method to test.

There is no difference in testing. Its only a different database in background.

For those who missed "how to test", from the guide https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/maxmind_geo_ip.html?highlight=geoip
