Hello r/irc I'm looking for a hexchat script/plugin that does a
hostname lookup on users connecting to a channel.

I've googled til the point of almost ddosing google with requests now
but I couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance,
Carl

It already prints a users hostname on join. What exactly do you want?

geoip lookup

Whois does this unless user&server has hostmasks enabled

Yes but seeing this every time someone joins a channel would be really
useful. I'm in various support channels and knowing what country the
people are from helps a lot in helping them. I don't want to whois
everyone. Just simply see a text line telling me their location when
they join.

but what about hostmask / proxies / vpns and tor ... if you have
access to all the users ip's it wouldn't be too difficult to write a
small python script to do this ... otherwise you might need some kind
of irc daemon / server side plugin / script

I do have access to their ips/hostnames. I just don't know how to do
the hexchat plugin :\

you just need something to parse the ips and call some geolocation api
or make a http request to a geolocation service and pull back the data
you need and display it in hexchat ...
