IPFire Location is now available on Debian & Fedora
IPFire Location is a geo location database which will tell you in which country a host on the Internet is located. It will also tell you in which Autonomous System (AS) this host is. In IPFire we use this information to make better decisions about which connections to block and we use it to collect metrics, etc.
But it is not only IPFire which benefits from this data. This is something we designed into the project from the very beginning when we launched it as a very lightweight library that is also very portable. So far, one of the many other users of our location database is the Tor project, but the list is getting longer and longer
