Geolocation Data : MAX MIND - Out of Sync

Mon Mar 14 15:53:21 UTC 2022

Hey Paschal,

I've had this same issue previously with some geolocation DBs not
reflecting locations correctly. I managed to fix the issue by maintaining a
public RFC8805 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8805> geofeed and
submitting it to the various DB providers via email and allowing them to
poll it frequently for any updates. Here are a majority of the emails you
would need to contact with your published geofeed, if you choose to
implement one:

   - support at db-ip.com
   - support at ip2location.com
   - support at ipgeolocation.io
   - correction at maxmind.com
   - ip-data at digitalenvoy.net
   - ipintel at support.neustar
   - privacy at ipapi.co
   - support at bigdatacloud.com

Feel free to use the following template using the subject of "Geofeed for
<ASN>" which I successfully used to have the above providers update their
databases (with a majority of updates published within a week or so):

Hello,

> Thanks.

Hope this information helps accomplish what you need!

Regards,
Peter
