In c54c9ad, the REST endpoint for FreeGeoIP was changed from the official one at http://freegeoip.net/ to https://telize.j3ss.co/geoip/. What was the rationale behind this?

The unofficial endpoint seems to respond inconsistently: sometimes latitude and longitude are strings, and sometimes either latitude or longitude are missing entirely, causing "ERROR - No Geometry" from Geocoder.

Seems like both REST endpoints are unstable, that's why I did the switch.

I guess we could switch it back to freegeoip, that server was blocked last time I was testing it.

Feel free to send a PR with a more stable server.

Thanks for the heads up!
