AlexWright Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi all, We've come across a spat of spammers and the like. We see that all the accounts registering are using the same Device but different IPs. Is there a way to block that specific device from the Administrative Panel, or would I have to use the Cloudflare firewall? Thanks! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriano Faria Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Even if you could ban a device, it uses cookies to generate its “key”. So it’s enough to the user delete cookies to generate a new key and then they’re not blocked anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this is the curse of trying to ban a problem member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve made a plugin but IPS didn’t allowed it on Marketplace due to this reason. I still should have it. I’ll send a PM tomorrow if you’re interested.
