Hey,

This could be a problem with MaxMindDb (old or not precise) or Cloudflare.

To rule out Cloudflare, can you please check if the IP shown in the admin panel (Admin \> Users \> your username) under “Last IP Address” matches your real IP? If yes, it might be a problem with MaxMindDb being too old.

> @nbianca Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe there is no background job for regularly updating that database and I’m not sure if Discourse picks up the changes when the `maxminddb:get` rake task is executed without a restart.

Yes, that is true. There is no background job for regularly updating the database or hot-reloading the MaxMindDb.
