a forum member mentioned maxmind many years ago. maxmind is a database company specializing in, among other things, mapping ip addresses to locations and networks.
they have for a long time made a version of their product available free of charge. not for commercial use, naturally. a few years ago, they changed a few things and began requiring registration before allowing accesss to the databases. but they are still free. and pretty inclusive.
the databases are available in binary format or csv. if you choose the csv format, you need to build a suitable database yourself from the csv file. if you choose the binary format, maxmind provides an api, which can be turned into a library for b4x (which i did).
i maintain a mail server which, like smtp servers all over, is constantly bombarded by scripts looking for open relays. the number of probes (even for a tiny domain such as mine) is staggering.
i like to keep a map of the world showing markers where these probes emanate...
