I am almost finished with preparing the tools for geo-blocking and geo-routing 
at the firewall for submission to the FreeBSD ports.

I created a man file for the tools, see: https://cyclaero.github.io/ipdb/, and I added 
the recent suggestions on rule number/action code per country code, namely, I changed the 
formula for the x-flag to the suggestion of Ian (value = offset + ((C1 - 'A')*26 + (C2 - 
'A'))*10), and I added the idea of directly assigning a number to a country code in the 
argument for the t-flag ("CC=nnnnn:...").

Furthermore, I removed the divert filter daemon from the Makefile. The source 
is still on GitHub, though, and can be re-vamped if necessary.

Now I am going to prepare the Makefile for the port.
I just submitted a PR asking to add the new port 'sysutils/ipdbtools'.

I needed to change the name of the geoip tool, because GeoIP® is a registered 
trademark of MaxMind, Inc., see www.maxmind.com. The name of the tool is now 
'ipup' = abbreviated form of  IP  geo location table generation and look- UP , 
that is without the boring middle part :-D
Hmm I'd have gone for geotable. ipup sounds like a young dog produced by Apple.
(wonder if one can change the name of a port)


Those, who used geoip already in some scripts, please excuse the inconvenience 
of needing to change the name.

With the great help of Julian, I was able to improve the man file and the 
latest version can be read online:

Best regards
