Notes to IpToCountry services

Post by Barbie » Mon Jun 27, 2016 3:57 am

Because I got some error messages I checked some servers offering IpToCountry service:

Working services (at 13 Mar 2022) in alphabethical order: Unavailable outdated services (at 16 Mar 2022):

Code: Select all

redirected: www.ut-slv.com:80/iptocountry/iptocountry16.php

All entries are in Host:Port/FilePath format according to IpToCountry.ini entries with prefix "QueryServer".
For your convenience, the appropriate part of IpToCountry.ini

To update the list, drop me a PM or ask a moderator.
You can check a service with your browser by adding a »http://« in front and »?ip=(any IPv4 address)« at the end of that URL, e.g.

Code: Select all

http://unrealkillers.com:80/iptocountry/iptocountry16.php?ip=123.45.67.89
Some other notes:
  • see also developers thread IpToCountry in UnrealAdmin.org forums
  • »CountryFlags2.utx« (country flags miniatures) has to be in ServerPackages if any mod needs it (e.g. NexGen)
  • in *nix systems a second INI file ipToCountry.ini can occur (note the case of the first character) - I've solved that with a soft link ipToCountry.ini->IpToCountry.ini
  • »iptocountry_AOL.u« is outdated so it's not needed anymore (source)
  • IpToCountry can be downloaded for example at utzone.de or unrealtournament.99.free.fr (v1.6)

Maybe you should see that IpToCountry at a moment is doing funky things with that HTTPClient class. After some time it might be stop responding at mutate command ruining itself. I was speaking about rewriting IpToCountry but I don't see anyone interested. For anybody's knowledge I was using a Loop server and External server. Loop server won't have lags and it do responds instantly, but IpToCountry is still blabbering. Nvm, if nobody cares I'm gonna change some rules in how does that module operate.
You should do more checks because has nothing to do with query servers than a mod rammed by itself. You'll figure when does it happen...

ut-files.com was down occasionally in the last time so perhaps they will be back again in a stable way?

As a matter of fact have you tried "mutate Iptocountry" command after a few 30-40 minutes of game-play with kills and everything ? For sure it goes disabled and then new comers stay unidentified after this time. In first minute usually it do works flawless, how about some action and testing it much later ? MH ? Something Custom ?

As a second matter of fact if you look at code there is even a remark about evil things that might occur randomly. Whoever was writing that he told the truth.

I just wanted to create a list of working and obsolete host offering IpToCountry services. I've changed the subject accordingly.

Is there a chance to get to know what version of »GeoIP.dat« a host is using? Because hosts with an outdated version (outdated=older than - lets say 6 months?) should have a lower preference.

"GeoIp.dat" which I have is monthly updated I have even a shortcut for getting that directly from source. So that's not the issue.
"News" which I'm accessing is a permanent reminder for updates. Of course my availability is limited.

I did try to recompile IpToCountry to take out AOL use, but couldn't compile because something isn't working right.

I paste a link to other service for IpToCountry: http://forum.gameclan.pl/iptocountry/index

I writed it from basics. Should working better than original. It also return:
- bad_ip : if IP in ?ip= is bad
- no_tag: if tag index.php?ip isn't entered


Config:

[ipToCountry.LinkActor]
QueryServerHost[0]=forum.gameclan.pl
QueryServerFilePath[0]=/iptocountry/index.php
QueryServerPort[0]=80
resolvedAddress[0]=193.33.177.237

My server crashes at times :(

I found this in teh logs straight after a crash:

IpToCountry: http://www.unrealkillers.com returned bad data! Switching to alternate.
Connection timed out after 15.000000 seconds (15.006115)
Close TcpipConnection194 Mon May 15 17:48:02 2017
[NPLoaderv16b] Loading failed for player: Alexey (Reason: disconnected)
Game ended at 852.187622

Is unrealkillers a bad setting now?
I removed it and used the others.
Testing to see if it stays up now.

Edit: thank you for the PM - think its sorted now. bad entry removed. Not sure how it got there!

Another EDIT:

Don't suppose anyone who uses IP2Country on their server could post their working ini config here please? (Just the ip2country link actor section)
Would like to see!

I didn't notice any abnormalities (except the entry Index=0: that one is missing here).

Another hint: If you are using a case sensitive file system, make sure that there is only one file named "IpToCountry.ini" - on my server I've found "IpToCountry.ini" and "ipToCountry.ini". I replaced the latter with a soft link to the former.

"Index=0" is after line with "Blah blah" - if something works or not, it's up on IpToCountry itself - I gotta admit some ini created was starting with a small letter, but these are not a problem in Win servers... else actor can be recompiled properly without those old default query servers - an empty default ini might be welcomed, being server-side will not mismatch anything...
