Introduction
I found my servers were given several requests by unknown hosts.
I tried to find out who they were.
Their locations were one of the good information, which were got in the way written in this post.
GeoIP by MaxMind did a great job.
Preparation: Manjaro/Arch Linux
Install 3 packages via Pamac, the Manjaro package manager:
- geoip
- geoip-database
- About Country
- geoip-database-extra
- About City/ASN, Autonomous System Number
AUR is also available.
Besides, installation for other distros is here.
How To Get It
It is a very simple task.
Just use geoiplookup:
$ geoiplookup %ip-or-fqdn%
GeoIP Country Edition: %Country Code%, %Country Name%
GeoIP City Edition, Rev 1: %Country Code%, ..., ..., ..., ..., %Latitude%, %Longitude%, ..., ...
GeoIP ASNum Edition: ...
Happy computing :)

Another solution that works quite great is Ipregistry:
ipregistry.co
Laurent, thank you for your sharing knowledge. I didn't know of it. The Ipregistry website looks nice 😉
Well, I found the Geobytes page in wikipedia has "Competitor information".
I have tried another solution to maxmind, its IP2Location. Try this also.
Thank you, Viswaprasath😄
I'll try it.
