Location Filter not as effective as before

The new location database is not fit for purpose. I have been using GeoIP in IPFire since first implemented, and have been happy with stability and accuracy.

However, the new implementation has been nothing but trouble for me. My country IPs still wrongly classified bar one, which required amending all my firewall rules for local incoming traffic. My firewalls all running 2.25 150 BTW.

Then this morning I found my network kaput, and soon got calls from all my businesses that their networks kaput. They have lost time and money due to this, as well as me (and yes I do donate to IPFire project). My day has been lost traveling around disabling GeoIP block on all my firewalls.

I did mention in bugzilla that I though it was a bad idea to check for location database updates so frequently (https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12484).
I am now thinking I would prefer manual update only, via a check button in the Firewall > Location Block page. That way, any changes can be rolled out in a controlled manner. We all want stability as well as security.

Thanks
