   $record = geoip_detect2_get_info_from_ip( $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’], NULL); it 
   seems that it sends two ip addresses in each request

 * You should use `geoip_detect2_get_info_from_current_ip()` instead so that you
   can enable reverse proxy options, for example.
 * However for this current example it will probably still not work. I have searched
   accross the internet why REMOTE_ADDR would give multiple IPs but I’ve only seen
   it for HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. Can you tell me which Web Server are you using, 
   is it apache? Which of the 2 IP adresses is the right one?
 * Also, normally this function shouldn’t throw any exception. Can you post the 
   full stacktrace and tell me the version of the plugin you use?
