Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 19, 20223 yr It would be great to have a native feature able to detect, restrict the use of vpn, proxy per user group. I know there are apps and mods around and I use one but would love to see an official and solid solution.
January 19, 20223 yr Keep in mind that this would require constant updating, unless a 3rd party API is used, which most definitely would come with extra costs.
January 19, 20223 yr Author Yes, it will need to use APIs. there are some great ones out there both free and paid. Even paid ones have limited free access. I would gladly pay, dealing with trolls behind vpns and proxies is far more expensive. Edited January 19, 20223 yr by virap
January 19, 20223 yr What about people with a legitimate need for VPNs or proxies? I'm sure there are better ways to stop trolling. Not to mention you can set up your own "clean" and undetectable VPN in a few minutes, and if it's detected, you can just set up a new one. If someone really wants to troll, they will find ways to do it.
