101 and not all of 1.2.3/24 for starters? Are you going to have specific entries for every single IP? even if you remove. But user A doesn't care and maybe even wants his IP listed. What happens when isp having say range 1.2.3/24 located in US hands user A 1.2.3.100, and user B 1.2.3.101Īnd user B says hey - don't list my. is some violation of your privacy is just freaking nuts. That the geoip for the IP says its from country X, or state Y or even city Z. But the vast majority of IPs are just IPs handed to a user from their ISP. I could see a concern when the IP pointed to your specific address or something. I think the whole thing stinks of company taking a privacy law and trying to monetize it to be honest. UPDATE: There are another one great geo-service DB-IP But anyway, sooner or later that problem come popup again. Of course I know, that this is additional work for programmers, etc, etc. What is bad to make ability to choose in pfSense in what DB to work MaxMind / ip2location ? ip2location is one of the well-known and reputable companies.

So, at this moment DB maintainer that not stretched by US/EU laws able to keep DB as full as possible. The source of problems are in another place, not in MaxMind / other maintainers DB. Some kind of digital madness IMHO, because this GDPR / CCPA not really against the problem of users private data. Like in MaxMind for end user there are free 'Lite' DB to download.ĭue GDPR and CCPA really not make security in IT better (because some companies and bad guys starting to using this legal ability (so called “Do Not Sell” requests) to makes security tasks for admins more complicated) and largest DB start to degrade in quality. Let's to note that another one great DB exist - from ip2location company.
