Hi,

I’ve recently installed FreeNginx[1]

I would like to use the geoip_module to have some “Stats” about my visitors…\

on the documentation we can read:

… using the precompiled MaxMind databases …

But on the MaxMind website I’m facing a wall:

Sorry, we were not able to create your account. Please ensure that you are using an email that is not disposable, and that you are not connecting via a proxy or VPN.

So not working… And anyway I’m not a fan of using something compiled and more over not open source…

So do you know another solution to get GeoIP data with FreeNginx ?

Thanks.

    The free version of Maxmind’s db should be available on your distro. The name is going to be ‘geoip’ with something extra hanging on :)
