IP with country None #88

Closed peca11 closed 4 years ago

peca11 commented 4 years ago

Hi, I found an IP that returns country None. This is the IP - "66.249.93.24"

g = GeoIP2() g.country('66.249.93.24') returns {'country_code': None, 'country_name': None}

Im using geoip2==3.0.0

I have checked the IP in other sources, https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/66.249.93.24 - "Country" field is also empty https://www.iplocation.net/ - Country field returns United States I'm not sure what it should return.

It seems that the IP belongs to Google. From what I understand it's used for Google webmail in Europe.

Should I report this issue here? https://support.maxmind.com/geoip-data-correction-request/correct-a-geoip-location/ In the form its mandatory to select a country, but I'm not sure which country it should return.

Data issues are typically better dealt with by contacting support@maxmind.com

In this particular case, we only map the IP to the continent level, as it appears that it is not fixed in any one particular country, so the results appear to be as expected.

Ok, thanks for the feedback!
