Thanks
I was hoping more of a feature addition to your module (an additional filter like continents, countries, regions, postal)
However, for "our" needs, we expect to use the postal code match up for now. I am a little curious to see it's performances in large scale postal ranges (like 100+ sometimes).

The range of the postal codes does not influence the performance.
The amount of postal codes or ranges in the field may influence the performance a little. How much? Probably not noticeable.
10000-90000 is lighter than 10000,10001,10002,10004.

The free GeoLite (The GeoIP2 version) is less complete than the full GeoIP2, which is not free.
You would have to manually place the GeoIP2 database on your server and customise code so you can reference it.
You could access that database via the PHP assignment, but not with the API (simple php functions) I have created for the free GeoIP version that comes with the Regular Labs GeoIP plugin.

So of course, it is possible, but not simple and requires a bunch of custom coding.
Also you would need to regularly update the database.
