Add freegeoip.net as 1 of the services. Feature request

I looked at this a few weeks ago and decided to not implement it. Freegeoip.net uses the same GeoLite2 data from MaxMind as the MaxMind Database service. So the data is the same, because of this I would recommend just using the MaxMind Database service. Having it locally would ensure no downtime and you control the database updates with a simple console command.
