Looks like it's now IPv6 only 😱
https://www.miyuru.lk/geoiplegacy
dl.miyuru.lk is now available only via IPv6. Mirror for people without IPv6 connectivity
$ nslookup dl.miyuru.lk 8.8.8.8
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: dl.miyuru.lk
Address: 2a01:4f8:211:1443:59::443
In that case, maybe we'll need to switch to https://mailfud.org/geoip-legacy/, I believe that there are still too many users don't have IPv6 address.

@miyurusankalpa is there any chance dl.miyuru.lk might support IPv4 again?

@PeterDaveHello unfortunately server is IPv6 only and I was at pushing 200 GB per month at cloudflare. I did not want to test the cloudflare TOS.
+1 for mailfud.org, seems to have more updated files than mine.
@miyurusankalpa if we can make the process open source and evev more automatic, maybe we can apply DigitalOcean open source program for its VPS?
@PeterDaveHello I found a v4 frontend gateway provider that can add IPv4 support for the server.
I also have a plan to redirect the IPv4 traffic to another place to reducue the load on the IPv4 gateway and to automate the build process with AWS spot instances.
Unfortunately I am a busy this week but will be free next week. I will update the thread once I implement the changes.
@Fytch I haven't updated the database since November, so you aren't missing anything. Will provide IPv4 support once I automate the process as I mentioned above. Sorry for the inconvenience. (maybe ask your ISP for IPv6 support 😉)
@miyurusankalpa Awesome, BTW, maybe the build can just use GitHub Actions or other CI/CD platform, then you won't need a server to do the build things ;)
When trying to fetch the GeoIP database via "Tools > Update GeoIP database", I keep getting the following error:
