You can update to an alternate provider via: gsettings set com.ubuntu.geoip geoip-url https://freegeoip.net/xml/
and verify the setting via: gsettings get com.ubuntu.geoip geoip-url but I have not done extensive testing to see if this breaks anything. Assistance on this would be appreciated. You can either use the freegeoip service or use its code to host an instance yourself. I do not mean to vouch for their service in any way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1617535 Title: geoip.ubuntu.com does not utilize HTTPS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-geoip/+bug/1617535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
