ip_from	INT(10)	First IP address in netblock.
ip_to	INT(10)	Last IP address in netblock.
country_code	CHAR(2)	Two-character country code based on ISO 3166.
country_name	VARCHAR(64)	Country name based on ISO 3166.

Concern, The DB stucture is first / last IP in netblock. They are IP ranges, which are not efficient for firewalls. If the "netblocks" and be converted to network objects with a mask, then it could be efficiently used in firewall rules.
