I think I might've mixed a bunch of different stuff in my comment, but the provider I was talking about was IPInfo. They do distributed JA4L-like location guessing and have a free IP-to-country DB:

That looks great, seems like they've raised the bar for GeoIp accuracy, kudos to them.

It looks like they provide mmdb files (for a fee) which should be compatible with Trippy. I'd love to be able to test it out, the sample [0] they provide is rather limited but I guess enough to test compatibility.

What a coincidence! I am the DevRel of IPinfo, and I was just about to reach out to you. My teammate (Shoutout to Max) has already mentioned your project on our team Slack, and I was thinking about a polite way to pitch our free IPinfo Country ASN dataset to your project. I will open a Github Issue right now.
Thanks! I’ll take a look
Reach out to them, they’re awesome folk and were willing to sponsor a 501(c)3 I worked on.
