    I received an email from MaxMind warning of a potential future break to my WooCommerce website due to their update on May 1st 2024. How and when is this going to be handled by WooCommerce? Do I need to do something I’ll have to do on my end?

    Email below:

    Hello,

    As of Wednesday, May 1, 2024, we will use R2 presigned URLs for all database downloads in order to increase the security and reliability of our services. 

    This is a potential breaking change. Please ensure that your servers can make HTTPS connections to the following hostname:

     mm-prod-geoip-databases.a2649acb697e2c09b632799562c076f2.r2.cloudflarestorage.com

    We recommend confirming the above as early as possible. 

    The permalinks from the download page in your account portal (login required) will not be changing. You will be redirected from those permalinks to the R2 presigned URLs.

    For more information, please review our documentation on directly downloading databases.

    If you download databases manually through the account portal and encounter an error, we recommend checking your firewall and browser security settings before trying again. 

    MaxMind

    Hi @ilconterik,

    I understand your concern, however, in this case since this is a third party developer, I’m afraid we’re not able to provide much details right now, and I’d recommend asking them directly https://www.maxmind.com/en/home (there’s a support section and a chat widget on their page, too!).

    From what I read in the email you shared, the only consideration and possible breaking point would be this:

    ?Please ensure that your servers can make HTTPS connections to the following hostname:

     mm-prod-geoip-databases.a2649acb697e2c09b632799562c076f2.r2.cloudflarestorage.com

    We recommend confirming the above as early as possible. 

    With this in mind, I’d recommend reaching out to your hosting provider for more details to confirm if your site is ready for this upcoming change.

    I hope this helps so far!
    -OP
