Authme has some limitations around the current IP location provider's data that can be addressed by switching to IPinfo's free IP database. The main issue is that users are unable to configure the MaxMind account. If you switch to IPinfo's free IP to Country database, you can package the program with a default IPinfo access token that can readily download the database.
The database is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, and with sharing attribution, you can allow users to download the database with just an IPinfo access token specific to the project. Moreover, the database comes with additional features:
Daily updates and full accuracy.
Comes in MMDB database format.
Location data granularity goes down to individual IP addresses
You can also check out the free IP to country ASN database if you'd like. The ASN metadata could help with the Antibot mechanism. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
