Solution retrospective

ip-api.com is a great service for IP geolocation. However the free plan doesn't come with the HTTPS (SSL) support. So when I deploy the app on Vercel I got the 'Mixed Content' error, since Vercel provide a free SSL certificate. Do you know a workaround to make the ip-api.com free plan work on Vercel?

In my solution I replaced ip-api.com with ipwhois.app, which is still great and has SSL support. However it has the limit to 10.000 request per month and it is not possible to search by domain (only IP addresses).
