Seeking Help Geo-Redirect Script

[Crazyflame]

Hi, I'm looking to split my traffic between two networks based on GEO targeting. I got some great suggestions from ChatGPT, like using Cloudflare Workers for country-based redirection (limited to 100,000 requests/day), MaxMind GeoLite2 (requires regular database updates), and other IP geolocation services using API.

I just wanted to hear your opinion on which option is better or if you have a more effective solution. I'm working with a tight budget, so I need something free and fast.

Thanks in advance!

Set Maxmind up on a cronjob to update on your server(s) for rudimentary GEO redirection that works.
Both Nginx and Apache 2 have geo-ip modules to handle volume.

for splitting traffic based on GEO, Cloudflare Workers is a great free option if your traffic stays under their daily request limit. It’s fast, reliable, and straightforward to set up for country-based redirection. If you’re looking for scalability, MaxMind GeoLite2 is an excellent choice, but you’ll need to handle database updates regularly. For something budget-friendly and easy to implement, IPstack or ipdata APIs are worth exploring, as they provide accurate geolocation data at affordable rates.
if you’re really tight on budget, a simple PHP-based redirect script using MaxMind’s free database can work well. What’s your expected traffic volume?
