Hey everyone,

  • Tool Context: we're running "What is My Country?", a web tool for real-time IP and country lookup.

  • Core Challenge: we're seeing inconsistencies with geolocation data accuracy, especially for mobile ISPs and VPN users. it's not about basic lookup; it's the edge cases.

  • Technical Deep Dive: our current setup uses a combo of MaxMind GeoLite2 and a custom cache layer. the issue seems to stem from how frequently we refresh or how certain proxy/VPN IPs resolve. are there better strategies for real-time, high-accuracy geolocation, especially concerning IPv6 and dynamic IPs?

  • Specific Question: for those running similar high-traffic IP lookup tools, what's your go-to for robust, real-time geolocation data sources or architectural patterns that minimize latency while maximizing accuracy against frequent IP changes and obfuscation attempts?

Anyone faced this before?
