Features

  • Serving over HTTPS (TLS) using your own certificates, or provisioned automatically using LetsEncrypt.org
  • HSTS ready to restrict your browser clients to always use HTTPS
  • Configurable read and write timeouts to avoid stale clients consuming server resources
  • Reverse proxy ready
  • Configurable CORS to restrict access to specific domains
  • Configurable api prefix to serve the API alongside other APIs on the same host
  • Optional round trip optimization by enabling TCP Fast Open
  • Integrated rate limit (quota) for your clients (per client IP) based on requests per time interval; several backends such as in-memory map (for single instance), or redis or memcache for distributed deployments are supported
  • Serve the default GeoLite2 City free database that is downloaded and updated automatically in background on a configurable schedule, or
  • Serve the commercial GeoIP2 City database from MaxMind, either as a local file that you provide and update periodically (so the server can reload it), or configured to be downloaded periodically using your API key
  • Serve the default PX8LITEBIN free database that is downloaded and updated automatically in background on a configurable schedule, or
  • Serve the commercial PX8BIN database from ip2location, either as a local file that you provide and update periodically (so the server can reload it), or configured to be downloaded periodically using your API token
  • Multiple languages are supported (en, ru, es, jp, fr, de)
  • Detect VPN anonymizer, open proxies, web proxies, Tor exits, data center, web hosting (DCH) range and search engine robots (SES).
  • Supports Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, and Windows
  • Setup wizard

Requirements

A Free MaxMind and / or ip2location License will be required and can be easily obtained:

  1. Sign up for a MaxMind account (no purchase required)
  2. Set your password and create a license key
  3. Sign up for a IP2Location account (no purchase required)
  4. Create access token

Installation

Download and unpack a fitting pre-compiled binary or build a binary yourself by by following the build instructions.

Continue by configuring your application:

geoip \
    -mm-user-id 100000 \
    -mm-license-key 0AAaAaaAa0A0AAaA \
    -i2l-token 0BBbBbbBb0B0BBbB \
    -http=:8080 \
    -gui gui \
    -save

Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/ to verify everything is working.

Please take a look at the available options for further details.

GUI

An example GUI can be found under webklex/gogeoip-gui. It is already included in the pre-compiled packages found under releases.

Server Options

To see all the available options, use the -help option:

geoip -help

You can configure the web server via command line flags, the config file conf/settings.config or by using the -setup flag:

geoip -setup

If you're using LetsEncrypt.org to provision your TLS certificates, you have to listen for HTTPS on port 443. Following is an example of the server listening on 2 different ports: http (80) and https (443):

geoip \
    -mm-user-id 100000 \
    -mm-license-key 0AAaAaaAa0A0AAaA \
    -i2l-token 0BBbBbbBb0B0BBbB \
    -http=:8080 \
    -https=:8443 \
    -hsts=max-age=31536000 \
    -letsencrypt \
    -letsencrypt-hosts=example.com \
    -gui gui \
    -save
$ cat conf/settings.config
{
    "MM_USER_ID": "100000",
    "MM_LICENSE_KEY": "0AAaAaaAa0A0AAaA",
    "HTTP": ":8080",
    "HTTPS": ":8443",
    "HSTS": "max-age=31536000",
    "LETSENCRYPT": true,
    "LETSENCRYPT_HOSTS": "example.com",
    ...

By default, HTTP/2 is enabled over HTTPS. You can disable by passing the -http2=false flag.

If the web server is running behind a reverse proxy or load balancer, you have to run it passing the -use-x-forwarded-for parameter and provide the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header in all requests. This is for the geoip web server be able to log the client IP, and to perform geolocation lookups when an IP is not provided to the API, e.g. /json/ (uses client IP) vs /json/1.2.3.4.

Databases

The current implementation uses the free GeoLite2 City database from MaxMind as well as the free IP2Proxy database from ip2location and the generic tor exit node list provided by the TorProject. If you have purchased the commercial database from MaxMind or ip2location, you can point the geoip web server or (Go API, for dev) to the URL containing the file, or local file, and the server will use it. In case of files on disk, you can replace the file with a newer version and the geoip web server will reload it automatically in background. If instead of a file you use a URL (the default), we periodically check the URL in background to see if there's a new database version available, then download the reload it automatically.

All responses from the geoip API contain the date that the database was downloaded in the X-Database-Date HTTP header.

API

The API is served by endpoints that encode the response in different formats. You can pass a different IP or hostname. For example, to lookup the geolocation of github.com the server resolves the name first, then uses the first IP address available, which might be IPv4 or IPv6:

curl :8080/json/{ip or hostname}?lang={language}[&user]

Same semantics are available for the /xml/{ip} and /csv/{ip} endpoints. JSON responses can be encoded as JSONP, by adding the callback parameter:

The used default language depends on the present Accept-Language header. You can define the used language by providing a lang parameter containing the two digit country code (en, ru, es, fr, de, jp).

Add the user parameter to the end to receive user device specific information. Please see the JSON example for output details.
