Significantly smaller file sizes for a number of databases

[MaxMind]

We have made changes to how we build and package our MMDB files to be more efficient, which has significantly reduced file sizes. The size of CSV files will not change.

No data has been removed from the databases. You will continue to receive the same amount of data in a smaller package.

This is a non-breaking change.

The following databases will be released today, September 30, 2026 with a smaller file size:

Database name	Original file size	Reduced file size
GeoIP Connection Type database	15 MB	3.5 MB
GeoIP Domain database	10 MB	5.5 MB
GeoIP IP Risk database	630 MB	145 MB
GeoIP Static IP Score database	16 MB	9 MB
GeoIP User Count database	1.8 GB	320 MB
