## Geoip database management in air-gapped environments

The [Logstash geoip filter](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/lsr/plugins-filters-geoip) requires regular database updates to remain up-to-date with the latest information. If you are using the Logstash geoip filter plugin in an air-gapped environment, you can manage updates through a proxy, a custom endpoint, or manually. Check out [Manage your own database updates](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/lsr/plugins-filters-geoip#plugins-filters-geoip-manage_update) for more info.
