Hi,
since I've upgraded to FreeBSD 12, I don't find a package providing the
lightweight geoip database API incl. GeoIP.h and libGeoIP.so.
I only find `geoipupdate` which is the non-free variant of the API.
Has the package been renamed?
Thanks

GeoIP and the GeoIP 1 database were discontinued early last year. They were
replaced by net/libmaxminddb and GeoIP 2 database. I have no idea if any
form of free data is available.
there is a partial alternative in ports...

It uses the official national registrations for country enumeration,
and can generate firewall tables directly.
Here's the cron script I use to generate a table in ipfw that only
allows australian and US addresses (for example):
#!/bin/sh
ALLOWFILE=/root/AU+USA-GEOIPS.ipfw
MAILTABLE=20
ALT_MAILTABLE=21
AU_VAL=10000
US_VAL=10200
#fetch latest geo-ip ranges and set AU and USA into table ${MAILTABLE}
ipdb-update.sh
ipup -t AU=${AU_VAL}:US=${US_VAL} -n ${ALT_MAILTABLE} > ${ALLOWFILE}
ipfw table ${ALT_MAILTABLE} flush
ipfw -q -f ${ALLOWFILE}
ipfw table ${MAILTABLE} swap ${ALT_MAILTABLE}
