    Hi Pal, Thanks for this great plugin it help me a lot

    I’m using 2 shortcodes in my theme and [geoip_detect_get_info_from_ip] to get user info and it was working very good but suddenly after refresh page i got these notices and external IP returned [0.0.0.0]

    $cur_ip = do_shortcode('[geoip_detect2_get_external_ip_adress]');

$client_ip = do_shortcode('[geoip_detect2_get_client_ip]');

$user_info = geoip_detect_get_info_from_ip( $cur_ip );

    /* Errors */

    This normally happens when your server is not connected to the internet. The reason the result is cached is because otherwise all request would be delayed by 5 seconds or so (until the connection timeouts kick in). For you local development, I’d recommend specifying an external IP in the plugin options.

    Wait, why do you want the information of the server ($user_info)? Normally you’d use $user_info = geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip() to get the information of the client. It automatically falls back to the server ip if the client IP is a local IP adress.
