GeoIP2 maxmind is there a free version ?
I have been trying to find if there is a way to use free version of Mamind's GeoIP2 Country Database. I would like to automate updates using libmaxminddb and enabling maxminddb_module for a WHM CentOS7 server. I created an account on Maxmind, generated license key but when I try to wget with download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-Country&license_key=xxx-Lic-Key&suffix=tar.gz it always says unauthorized.
If I read here https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-precision-country-service it tells you to buy credits and then use them as per query.
I read many guides but all seem redundant now as Maxmind pulled their legacy databases.
My purpose is to have visitors from a China be served the site from Chinese domain (on Alibaba cloud) and rest of the world gets the English Site in UK. What would be the best approach ?
Thanks

Maxmind has couple of modules available for you to integrate with existing system. I think their yearly isn't that expensive too.
You can develop using maxmind db free editions or some other free database like (https://iptoasn.com/)
if you're using wget make sure you wrap the URL in " " otherwise the & will be read by the shell.

You can detect the browser language with a script and redirect or use IP address lists aggregated by country: http://ipverse.net
You can enable Cloudflare IP Geolocation: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168236-Configuring-Cloudflare-IP-Geolocation
It's available in free plan.
dunno about the price difference but ipinfo.io have some decent API
I'm using their GeoLite2 DB.
It's always free.
