# GeoIP Guide (Planning)
|
|
|
|
This project intentionally does not enable GeoIP enforcement yet.
|
|
|
|
Planned integration target: `github.com/rabuchaim/geoip2fast`.
|
|
|
|
## Recommended approach
|
|
|
|
1. Load one shared GeoIP provider instance at startup.
|
|
2. Add a small in-memory cache keyed by IP with TTL.
|
|
3. Apply lookup timeout and fallback to `unknown` values on failures.
|
|
4. Use results first in the admin security detail pane.
|
|
5. Add aggregated statistics only after detail pane behavior is stable.
|
|
|
|
## Why this is safe
|
|
|
|
- No request path should fail because GeoIP lookup fails.
|
|
- Lookup cost stays bounded with caching.
|
|
- Security decisions remain independent from GeoIP quality.
