ip2c fetch call sometimes fails and is unreliable

[Gabcot]

We noticed recently that the ip2c fetch call is very slow (4-5s) and can even timeout. This leads to the flag widget remaining blank and not working properly. The slow call prevents the widget from initializing correctly

Having an option to set a shorter timeout, cancelling the request when numbers are inputed or setting a default flag if the call is failing would be ideal.

@Gabcot i have the same issue and a lot of issue are open because of that...
Is there a good alternative?

[Gabcot]

@dominikager We are considering creating our own ip detection on the frontend and feed the country ISO2 as a default value to override the ip2c call.

@Gabcot i added the following lines and it works

 mounted() {
    axios.get('http://ip-api.com/json/?fields=status,message,countryCode').then(function (payload) {
      this.defaultCountry = payload.data.countryCode
    })
  },

<vue-tel-input
  :auto-default-country="false"
  :default-country="defaultCountry"
  />

@dominikager Thanks!, the answer worked for me, Only that I set default-country as a static value for my requirements.
<vue-tel-input :auto-default-country="false" default-country="MX" />
