GeoIP localhost

I installed the tracker on my Laravel 5.8 project, the only thing I cannot get to populate is the GeoIP, I keep getting null, and no database entries.

I have

log_geoip' => true

'geoip_database_path' set to storage_path('app/geoip'),
--database is in location; storage/app/geoip with the following files;

GeoLite2-City.md5
GeoLite2-City.mmdb
GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz

I also have;

'do_not_track_ips' => [
// '127.0.0.0/24', /// range 127.0.0.1 - 127.0.0.255
],

The only thing I considered is maybe because I am testing it locally via Laragon, that it is ignoring the 127.0.0.1 result.
I would like to confirm it works however, and I do not know how to go about this.

Start by reproducing the reported GeoIP lookup with Laravel 5.8, the provided geoip_database_path, and the 127.0.0.1 address. Check whether localhost is intentionally excluded and whether the supplied GeoLite2 files are read; done means identifying the cause of the null result and confirming working population or documenting the localhost limitation.
