Hi @Torann

How are you? I am getting this weird issue. On local environment using maxmind_database I always get correct data for IP. On my live environment, most of the times I get correct results but sometimes I get empty values for the same IP. I have ensured that same geoip.mmdb file is used on both environments. I am using Laravel 8 running on PHP 8.

The Maxmind database might be out of date. Also if you are using the free version, it doesn't support mobile very well, you might have to move to a paid version.

Maxmind Database is fine. Sometimes geoip returns empty values and if you run geoip again it returns correct results.

Closing this issue, as the issue is not in this package but with GeoIp2\Database\Reader as DB reader sometimes throws AddressNotFoundException other times it gets the correct results.
