Wrong Flag on all Teamspeak Servers!

@Xenya2hot

But there is no exact instruction how to do this or which DB to use from MMDB.

Quoting the server_quickstart.md which can be foudn in the doc folder

• mmdbpath (empty)
  Set to the path of an MMDB file to use this as a source for GeoIP lookups. Requires libmaxminddb installed, which can be found in most Linux distributions as a package. Windows users can use the .dll found in the redist folder.

Heya
no i mean which DB, csv etc ( country, city )

[TS.ChrisR]

The DB you downloaded from MaxMind.
You can use all their DB types.

[Xenya2hot]

Heya

from GeoLite2-Country_20210601

Hi, I need some help, a flag of my country doesn’t appear next to my name on TS3, could someone help me, I’ve already been banned because of that I would like to solve

[LukasL]

Sometimes there are gaps in the geo-location data. Are you using a VPN ore somethins witch blocks you geo-location? I had that same problem once and a serverupdate fixed it for me.

Do you have this porblem on every teamspeak server ore just one?

And just a tip this is an englisch forum so please you englisch next time

[armandomartino]

I’m having this problem on every server I log on!

[Marcel1802]

I know people who only got an IPv6 address from their provider.
I could imagine that your provider only gives you an IPv6 address too and that this address is not on the hardcoded geo ip list which is integrated in the ts3 server.
This list is not up to date, that’s why ts3 servers have the possibility to use external lists.

Check on one of the whats-my-ip-address websites (e.g. https://whatismyipaddress.com/) if your provider only gives you only an IPv6 address or an IPv4 too.

I could imagine that this is the problem.

[armandomartino]

I just checked the site you gave me, it only detected ipv4, ipv6 didn’t!

[Marcel1802]

Did the website detected your location correctly (at least country)?

[armandomartino]

yes detected the country correctly!

Can you please read post 3 in this thread? It explains why your flag is wrong/not recognized.

Short version You must ensure that ip2location knows the location for your IP and the server owner must update his server to latest version or wait for the next update Long Version We use an external service to resolve the country for users. This service needs a database, which is included in the server. Actually this is hardcoded and can not be replaced/updated from you. We put the update of the country database into the server, when a new server was released. So always use the latest serve…

Just as I’ve mentioned it quite a year ago…

@MCG

We honestly need to wait.

Please send an E-Mail to [email protected] with your IPv4 address range and tell them to fix your location. You may need to send an traceroute too. I guess it’s germany, so give them some details.

Only this company can apply changes, and not we (as users)

1. Check your IP address under www.ip2location.com
2. Contact the IP2Location support, when it’s wrong. — E-Mail: [email protected]
3. Wait until the next month or server update for the fresh database — or you can also download the latest IP2LOC DB and use it for your server.

You can also use a IP address location database from another provider, e.g. MaxMind or anything else.

Have fun while suffering.

Hi There,

what service does the TS3-Client use/ask to show the Countryflag of a user (via IPv4)?

I and my IP are located in Germany. Apparently my ISP uses some IPv4-Addresses which where located in Hong Kong before and some websites/services still show the wrong location (I noticed the wrong location at least 3 Months ago).

My ISP wants me to take care of the wrong location by myself, which I think is outrageous but on the other hand I need a usable Internet Connection. Bad enough they still provide IPv6 Support.

Can someone tell me which Service the TS3-Client uses so I can instruct my ISP who they have to contact?

Thx in advance
