Specify the URL that will do an IP lookup, or a filename to a local GeoLiteCity.dat file (from maxmind.com) to perform a lookup against.

Using the URL is slower depending on your network connection. Doing a local lookup is very fast, but requires the maxmind dat file present on your server (which is upwards of 25+ mb in size).

In order to use a local GeoLiteCity.dat file, you must have the geoip*.inc source files in your includes directory. You can download the files from the <a href="http://maxmind.com">maxmind.com</a> website.

If an URL is specified, the special token of $ip can be used in the string and will be replaced with the IP that will be looked up, by default the IP is appended to the end of the URL..

<b>Recommended:</b> Leave the URL default (unless you know what you're doing).
