Loving this extension but the lookup tool is consistently providing incorrect location information - at least for UK visitors, which are the bulk of my users.

I manually ran a large sample of old poster IPs - including posts where I personally already knew the poster's location - through this lookup site and it seems more accurate:

https://www.whatismyip.com/

Is it possible to change the site used in the extension?

I could edit the files myself and change it but just wondered if it was a thing other folks thought of value?

this is what I've done to my version of the extension:

in: event/listener.php

find: replace with:

Whoops, just realised this is a duplicate of this older post:

I just created a new version if you'd like to test it.

Works great, and love how it uses a modal window rather than a opening new browser popup window.

Thanks

You're welcome. It's sitting in the queue to be validated.
