This code is for loading database data that maps ip addresses to countries for collecting and presenting statistics on snowflake use that might alert us to censorship events. The functions here are heavily based off of how tor maintains and searches their geoip database The tables used for geoip data must be structured as follows: Recognized line format for IPv4 is: Note that the IPv4 line format is not currently supported. Recognized line format for IPv6 is: It also recognizes, and skips over, blank lines and lines that start with '#' (comments).
Readme
Get the country code for an IP address using the tor's geoip database.
Needs the path of the geoip database in the initialization. For example in
debian it is provided by tor-geoipdb and the path is /usr/share/tor/geoip
and /usr/share/tor/geoip6.
geo, err := geoip.New("/usr/share/tor/geoip", "/usr/share/tor/geoip6")
if err != nil {
// Handle error
}
ip := net.ParseIP("12.13.14.15")
country, ok := geo.GetCountryByAddr(ip)
if !ok {
fmt.Println("Not found any country for the IP")
} else {
fmt.Println("The ip corresponds to the country:", country)
}
