ip2location-go VS Filestash

IP2Location — Freemium IP geolocation service. LITE database is available for free download. Import the database in the server and perform a local query to determine the city, coordinates, and ISP information.

Azure published their IP geolocation geofeed to IP geolocation providers such as IP2Location. It should be highly accurate.

You can visit IP2Location and check if you are behind an ISP and its actual IP address. You should be fine if your IP address is clean for residential purpose.

If you visit https://www.ip2location.com, does it detect your ISP IP address as from data center?

If you know anyone who is currently onboard, ask them to visit https://www.ip2location.com and send you a screenshot of what it reported. That is the IP geolocation information you want to know.

The common approach is using IP geolocation to identify estimated country of origin.

Do you have clean IP address? You can visit https://www.ip2location.com and see the parameters of your IP address. Is it detected as VPN or with abuses history?

Yes, you can find example of IP geolocation in https://www.ip2location.com and use it to block Utah visitors or anyone behind VPN.

You can check the IP address on testing websites like IP2location, DB-IP, IPinfo, etc. It should be noted that occasionally these websites display different locations for the same IP address. Typically, this is due to the fact that the IP address itself is disputed, which causes various analyses by IP libraries. You will need to contact the proxy provider in this case to obtain a different, higher-quality proxy.

Filestash — A Dropbox-like file manager that connects to a range of protocols and platforms: S3, FTP, SFTP, Minio, Git, WebDAV, Backblaze, LDAP and more.

I made https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash out of the need to collaborate on org mode documents with non emacs users. Once the first release was done, I got to reflect on the infamous top comment of the Dropbox HN to make an attempt at abstracting the storage aspect of Dropbox so those org document could be made stored on a FTP server, SFTP, S3, ....

> we need an abstraction for just this. "Bring your own storage"

I made exactly this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash and there's an API from which you can abstract any kind of storage: S3, SFTP, FTP, GIT, WebDav, Samba, Local FS, NFS, Backblaze, Storj, Artifactory, .... There's even some funky ones like Mysql from which you have an abstraction where first level folders are databases, second level folders are tables and files are the actual rows

Yes, I rewrote my react app onto vanilla JS using nothing else than rxjs, didn't have the time to document it all yet but it looks like this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/blob/master/pub...

I'm not familiar with Cloudreve, but FileStash is a similar application often recommended on this subreddit.

I do use them on my OSS work (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/tree/master/pub...) which is used by many thousands of people

- [2] current state of the rewrite where you can see this pattern in action https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash-rewrite/tree/ma...

This is what I wish Dropbox was, a simple layer that make interacting with your FTP server easy so nobody has to own your data. The end game is both to be feature complete with Dropbox and be able to change every aspect of the application through plugin so everyone can get out what they want from it.

> but I don't think its the companies responsibility to give back to open source just because they use it

As someone who does quite a bit of OSS, the reality is most people are asking for things but aren't willing to pay for it. Take Microsoft, I had one of their employee asking me to support their azure stuff: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/issues/180. When I found out the dude was actually employed by Microsoft, he started to talk some nonsense and ended up running away.
