Hi there,

GEOIP Service stopt working on Dec 30 / 2019. Obviously  maxmind is no more providing the geolite database via
geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/*

Any hints / solutions to get this fuction working again ?

Best regards
Michael

Dev version already has a patch

With 19.7.9 you will have to create a maxmind account and Insert your personal link in OPN

I use in opnsense 19.7.8 an Alias named GeoIP. Apparently it's populated, according to pftables.

I don't see any option to enter credentials in the Alias definition or do I get this whole thing completely wrong?
kind regards

It still works but you cant download updates to the Geo files.
The input for the link will come in 19.7.9 ;)

Ok, I see, many thanks!

Is it a free account (free as in "paid with your telemetry data") or will it cost money? :-)

As far as I understood the GitHub ticket, they will have to be capable of notifying you in care someone does not want his IP to be in the database and the record must be deleted. The next update will not contain that data anyway.

..so as a hacker I get my IP removed from the list and I'm done? Funny!

Is there no way to get this list compiled from public data available from the countries registrars? Just asking...

...took some time but finally I got an email to my public account and could generate a "Lincense key". Waiting for 19.7.9 to enter it in the GUI.

What bothers me a little is that they want details for invoicing on the login page...

So I assume this explains why I have US IP's being blocked when my rule states to block any country that is not US. So I guess I need to update the firewall and get the Maxmind account rollin'

Oh my 19.7.9 is not out yet. Better temporary disable my GEOIP rule.
