Note there is already ip2location supported, see https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/options/others.md

I'll have a look at supporting more, thanks for the detailed issue 👍 Although not a super priority right now 😉

Consider using https://ipapi.is/

Our free plan includes the full API output compared to the limited output of other APIs

I will give you unlimited requests for free if you sign up at https://ipapi.is/app/signup

Reason: ipapi.is once started as a open source project and it is time to give back
