    Hello there,

    I need your help to solve a problem:

    Some days ago, I was working nicely with GeoIp on localhost. However, today I get some wrong behavior on my website and I found the problem:

    The GeoIP was not getting my external ip when I’m on localhost.

    What should I do? I updated the wordpress to version 4.2.2 some days ago.

    I tryed to delete and install the plugin on my wordpress, but I didn’t get success. On my production environment, the plugin is getting local server ip. :/

    I coded a var_dump(geoip_detect_get_external_ip_adress()); and the result was: string(7) “0.0.0.0”.

    Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    Just a note:

    I’m using HostIP.info Web-API.

    If I use the “GeoLite2 City database (updated monthly)”, I get the error bellow:

    Notice: Lookup Error: The address 0.0.0.0 is not in the database. in ..\xampp\htdocs\carivent\wp-content\plugins\geoip-detect\api.php on line 36

    Probably the IP detection failed once (because of bad internet connectivity) and then he cached the result (for 2 hours). There’s not much I can do about it, asking at every request would be to expensive.

    However I will add an option to manually set an “external adress” for debug purposes in the next release.

    Nice Bejnamin,

    I think it was caused by a bad connection as you said! The plugin is okay now!

    Thank you for your reply! ??

    The option is implemented in Github now, you can beta-test it if you like:
