[Suggestion] Using IPinfo IP to Country ASN database #1035
Comments
It looks good, but I feel that the existing IP library information is completely sufficient, and there is not enough reason to support additional libraries. Or you can talk about a more specific scenario and we might consider it |
Hey @xbingW, Thank you for reviewing the request. I saw that the project may not be supporting IPv6 at this moment (#612). Our free database packages both IPv4 and IPv6 in a single database, which will address support for IPv6. Also, there is a request to support ASN blacklist (#222). The database contains ASN/ISP information in there as well. Additionally, the database is updated daily and provides full accuracy. This means that unlike any IP to Country database out there, it provides zero compromise in terms of accuracy. Our data is backed by latency and networking driven data rather than reported geolocation data from ISPs and VPNs. This means when it comes to accuracy, it is the best you can get. However, the database only provides country and ASN level information. We do not have a free variant of our city level geolocation data. What we have is the best-in-class country-level data for free to support open source projects. Because safeline is designed to have a security layer, this level of accuracy, ASN data, and IPv6 support will be appreciated by the users. Please, let me know what you think. |
What would you like to be added or improved?
I am requesting to add support for IPinfo's IP to Country database to the project. The database has the following features:
Database schema
start_ip
end_ip
country
country_name
continent
continent_name
asn
as_name
as_domain
Documentation: https://ipinfo.io/developers/ip-to-country-asn-database
Samples are available here: https://github.com/ipinfo/sample-database/tree/main/IP%20to%20Country%20ASN
The database can be downloaded simply by accessing the storage URI with an access token.
