<p>Our authoritative DNS servers implement GeoDNS with a local GeoIP database from a
72+
sponsorship by <a href="https://ipinfo.io/">IPinfo</a>. IPinfo primarily uses over
73+
1300 probe locations to build their GeoIP database based on measurements rather than
74+
the traditional approach used by most GeoIP companies of building it with WHOIS data
75+
including geofeeds which are often missing or outdated. A free version of their
76+
database (IPinfo Lite) is available on GitHub with country data. They provide use
77+
with their premium IP to Geolocation Database with region codes and cities which we
78+
use to direct users within large countries to the best server location.</p>
