country/ip database website, needs donations to keep going

I recently found this resource:
http://www.countryipblocks.net/
on the day they say they are closing due to lack of donations. :( I thought other hap users might be interested in this use case and will hopefully think about donating, too.

For one site targeting users in several countries au, nz, etc. to be able to do per-country stats, I am add a header based on the ip:

         acl ipcc_au src -f /etc/haproxy/au_ips.txt
         acl ipcc_nz src -f /etc/haproxy/nz_ips.txt

         reqadd X-Country:\ au if ipcc_au
         reqadd X-Country:\ nz if ipcc_nz

With haproxy and these lists, it is fast and easy to add the country info to requests.

Is anyone else doing something similar?
Or other sources for this or other similar types of info? Received on 2011/06/06 10:18
