# GeoIP Connection Type database now released every weekday

_April 1, 2026_

The GeoIP Connection Type database is now updated every weekday, Monday through
Friday. We recommend automating GeoIP database updates so that you can be sure
that you always have the most accurate IP geolocation and IP intelligence data.

You can automate database updates with our GeoIP Update program or other
methods. You can also download databases directly through the account portal.
