Potentially breaking change on GeoIP setup

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.
