#2118 closed enhancement

The "freegeoip" setting should be disabled by default — at Initial Version

Description

The current service will be disabled on July 1st, 2018. It will be replaced with a compatible service that requires registration and the use of an "API KEY". It should still be a free service for basic usage. A BASE server admin need to set this up before the geolocation services are used.

For more information see: https://github.com/apilayer/freegeoip#readme

Basically the current setting that is:

http://freegeoip.net/json/{IP}

need to be replaced with:

http://api.ipstack.com/{IP}?access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY&output=json&legacy=1

where YOUR_ACCESS_KEY should be replaced with the key that you get after registering.

Note that we do not expect that we need to make any code changes in BASE due to this. Fixing the base.config file should work also with older BASE version.
