Hi, I did that ./nft_geoip.py --file-location location.csv --download and I get that

IP Geolocation by DB-IP (https://db-ip.com) licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0

map geoip4 { type ipv4_addr : mark flags interval elements = { 1.0.0.0-1.0.0.255 : $AU, .... Why $AU ? https://www.whatismyip.com/1.0.0.0/ tells me US.

Best regards

Hi @philbat, this issue is not related to the script in itself, but with the information provided by db-ip. If you inspect dbip.csv you can notice the following line. (as of the day I'm writing this)

1.0.0.0,1.0.0.255,AU

At this point is more about which geoip information provider you prefer or find more reliable. But this script will only work with db-ip, at least in the foreseeable future. (mainly because of the license)

Thanks for your answer. in effect, whois 1.0.0.0 gives me AU.
