I use MaxMind's GeoIP2 Lite in combination with the Advanced Ads Pro-Integration on my self-hosted WordPress. It's very easy to set-up and takes less than a minute to get Access to the API, and can be used immediately to limit Access to Ads (in my case) based on Country (some Advertisers only advertise locally, so it's easy to use MaxMind's API to limit Ads only to specific Regions). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MaxMind GeoIP®? Actually nothing, and I don't know why someone always has to fill out this field. As I mentioned, going live takes less than a minute, the API updates every day and the integration (in my case with Advanced Ads) is set up within a minute or two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MaxMind GeoIP® solving and how is that benefiting you? MaxMind is doing a great job in limiting specific pages, ads or contents to selected regions, making it easy to set up country-specific ads or pages with the ability to lock out users outside of those specified regions.
