Geocoding API not responding fast enough

Question

I use the Geocoder gem, but it has not been working lately.

I get this error:

Geocoding API not responding fast enough (use Geocoder.configure(:timeout => ...) to set limit).

My application_controller.rb:

before_filter :lookup_ip_location

  private

    def lookup_ip_location
      if Rails.env.development?
        prr = Geocoder.search(request.remote_ip).first
        p "this is #{prr.inspect}"
      else
        request.location
      end
    end

This is development.rb:

# test geocoder gem locally
  class ActionDispatch::Request
    def remote_ip
      "71.212.123.5" # ipd home (Denver,CO or Renton,WA)
      # "208.87.35.103" # websiteuk.com -- Nassau, Bahamas
      # "50.78.167.161" # HOL Seattle, WA
    end
  end

I am loading the IP addresses from development.rb to check if the geocoder works locally, but it is not. I get the above error.

Also, when printing, prrI get zero.

I also added the geocoder.rb initializer to raise the timeout to 15 seconds, but even 15 seconds after the page loads, I still get the same message.

Ruined? Should I use another stone? If yes, do you have any suggestions?
