AlexJ Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Is their anything else which we you can use besides IP for finding duplicate users? A while back, one addon used Flash cookie to detect duplicate users. Any other option other then IP? Also this one works with IPv4 and IPv6?

Flash might not be a good long term approach but maybe cookies. I didn't specifically test with with IPv6 but the database and code supports it.
Michael.J Posted August 27, 2018 Author Posted August 27, 2018 This application has been updated with the following change log: Quote Option to whitelist only firewall rules and block other matches. Option to post a reply for duplicate ip address matches to existing topic. Loren 1
DanInMS Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Dumb question...I have two new members who signed up who showed up as duplicate IP's but when I look them or the IP's reported up I don't see any other members listed with that IP. Am I missing something ? Edited September 12, 2018 by DanInMS

Am I missing something ? Do you have the delete option used in the spam monitoring tool at all? It may have deleted the account due to the account being flagged as a likely spammer.
DanInMS Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 I looked at the spam prevention settings but don't see an option for it do delete accounts.
DanInMS Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Had another new account sign up but this time I found an inactive member by searching the IP. Is it possible to have it show the duplicate account on the notification ?

ChrisTERiS Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Hello, Can it also restrict visitors or only registrations? eg I want visitors from specific countries to get a message "Sorry, this site is not available to your country". Is this possible? Thank you Chris
ChrisTERiS Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Hello, As I read Geolocation accuracy is dependent on IPB4 itself. What I want to ask is, if this service needs active IPS license as my license has been expired on January, and I'm not sure if I'll renew it. If not, then seems that something does not works well in my installation. For testing purposes, I've blocked my country (Greece), but still anybody from Greece can register. Thank you Chris Edited February 4, 2019 by ChrisTERiS

Currently on registrations but visits is something I can look at adding if there's enough demand for it.

Yes the Gelocation service IPS offers appear to require an active license. This is not something I'm likely to circumvent as the included solution works well. But if you don't intend to renew your license, I can offer a refund for you.

Why to ask for refund while is not an issue from you addon? Noway. I asked just as a way to avoid wasting my time why it does not works. Someday, I'll renew my IPS license.

I think a link to the ModCP IP tools in the post content would be sufficient, i.e. to /modcp/ip-tools/?ip=a.b.c.d When changing the post content in the Geofirewall settings using https://www.example.org/modcp/ip-tools/?ip={member_ip} unfortunately does not work, as the variable's brackets are converted into %7B and %7D...
Thomas P Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) @Mike John Just realized that "Post before Registering" from v4.4 seems to trigger an entry in the duplicate Log, one for the Guest and one for the registered member. When looking at the IP in the ACP IP Address Tools there is no history for that IP, all data is from today. Could you please verify the issue? Thank you, Thomas Edited June 5, 2019 by Thomas P

Yeah it's a bit of an annoyance. If you don't mind testing, I can put together a file edit you can apply that adds a new quick tag? Something like {member_ip_link} to link directly to the ip tools page.
