Download and install the GeoIP database from Maxmind.

There is a free one available here

You will need to download the 'Country' .mmdb file for both the paid and free one

This file needs to be on your NATS installation in a path that is accessible to NATS The path will need to be specified in config->surfer->tracking GEOIP2_PHP_DATABASE_LOCATION

You will then switch the IP_FILTER to GeoIP2_PHP and store your changes


Test Code

The following PHP code will help you test GeoIP. Put it in a file, put the file on your webserver, and load its URL. It should print your country's name.

<?
echo 'According to geoip apache module, you are from '.apache_note("GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME");
echo '<br>According to geoip pecl php module, you are from '.geoip_country_code_by_name($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
?>

Note: Please be sure to perform this test after you install or update Maxmind's GeoIP.
