# Geo location database

The Appgate SDP system provides geo location information which is used both in the [system claims](/v1/docs/claims-in-detail) and in the [Audit logs](/v1/docs/audit-logs). To achieve this Appgate SDP includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from [https://www.maxmind.com](https://www.maxmind.com). The accuracy if the geo information is only as good as the underlying database. Information is published periodically estimating this by region: [https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-city-database-accuracy](https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-city-database-accuracy). One of the drivers of accuracy is how often the database is updated. Appgate SDP uses the free downloadable databases which are updated monthly.

Updates can be enabled or disabled in Global settings. By default updates are DISABLED. If ENABLED, each Appliance in a Collective will check weekly to see if there is an update available and if so download it.

Access should be allowed to:

- bin.appgate-sdp.com
- updates.maxmind.com

See [https://dev.maxmind.com/maxmind-server-ip-addresses](https://dev.maxmind.com/maxmind-server-ip-addresses) for more information.

Appgate SDP (Software Defined Perimeter) is a security solution that provides secure access to resources based on user identity and context, leveraging a zero trust security model.

The virtual or physical instance on which the system is running. Each appliance is a stateless, configurable machine that can operate as a single function or a combination of functions.
