GeoIP Database to use with FreeNginx !? [ solved ]

Hi,

I've recently installed FreeNginx[^FN]

I would like to use the geoip_module to have some "Stats" about my visitors..\

on the documentation we can read:

... using the precompiled MaxMind databases ...

.

But on the MaxMind website I'm facing a wall:

Sorry, we were not able to create your account. Please ensure that you are using an email that is not disposable, and that you are not connecting via a proxy or VPN.

So not working... And anyway I'm not a fan of using something compiled and more over not open source...

So do you know another solution to get GeoIP data with FreeNginx ?

Thanks.
