Feature Request: automatic redirection based on GeoIP?
over 1 year ago by Paul Chambers
I'm curious if it's possible to add the ability to use GeoIP data to automatically redirect traffic to a 'local' (to the destination) proxy?
It's pretty straightforward to add a '*.co.uk' rule to redirect relevant traffic through a proxy located in the UK. However, it's not uncommon for UK-based companies to use 'generic' TLDs, or use services like CDNs/AWS etc. with those TLDs.
I'd like to be able to create a rule that redirects any query that resolved to a UK IP address (as reported by the GeoIP database) to use a proxy located in the UK.
I'm thinking that the cleanest implementation would be too add a option for the rule condition, i.e. 'country of destination' as a second choice besides 'domain'.
