1 year ago Thanks for the suggestion. I've added this to our to-do list.
It may be a little while before we can get to it. In the meantime if you want to give it a shot yourself you can use the ipstack module as a starting point. It converts IP_ADDRESS into GEOLOCATION, so the functionality should be pretty similar.
I would like to introduce the IP2Location.io IP geolocation API. It has the following advantages compare to other API providers.
Please consider IP2Location.io as one of the database source in WordPress IP Geo Block. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions.
