Hello,

We're using the integrated IP Lookup tool to decide whether a order is fake or not.
The currently active Tool (http://forum.geoiptool.com/) is displaying China as a Country for all IPv6 addresses.

It should be configurable which IP tool someone wants to use. We have our own tool and we just need to copy/paste the ip. If the GeoIP tool could be set in configurations that would be great

Hi Bernd,
In what format would WHMCS pass the IP to check to your custom system? Could be be done in a single method that also works with the other suggestions?

a other solution is to integrate a IP DB like Maxmind: https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/

as a example: https://tools.keycdn.com/geo?host=123.123.123.123

Hi there,
Thanks for your suggestion. Is there a suitable alternative you'd prefer to use instead?
