Order of GeoIP processing

This doc describes order of GeoIP location services used with voipmonitor GUI

In the GUI settings -> system config -> GeoIP (You can define your keys for maxmind or ipinfodb.)

• If you define keys for both providers the 'maxmind' have precedence.
• In case you don't define a key, the local db will be used instead (this local db is updated with each GUI release, its stored into local db.)
• In case you have no GeoIP data downloaded in local db (voipmonitor.org unacessible from GUI server), it will use following free(demo) portals in following order:
  • ipinfodb
  • freegeoip
  • maxmind

Correcting Incorrect GeoIP Data

The GeoIP location data is sourced from MaxMind. If you encounter incorrect IP location information, you can help improve the database accuracy by submitting a correction request to MaxMind directly.

Procedure to submit a correction:

1. Go to the MaxMind GeoIP Update Form: Submit a Correction Request
2. Fill out the form with the IP address, country, and other location details that need to be corrected
3. Submit the correction request to MaxMind

After MaxMind updates their database:

1. Notify the VoIPmonitor support team about the correction you submitted
2. The support team will release a new version of the GUI that includes the updated MaxMind database
3. Upgrade to the latest GUI version to get the corrected GeoIP data
