GeoIP2

MaxMind GeoIP2 databases provide contextual data for a comprehensive profile of IP addresses, including geolocation data (region, state, city, postal code) and extra data (ISP, domain, connection type). Basing on these data, F5 NGINX Plus will be able to perform different user differentiation strategies, for example, provide different type of content depending on a country.
