Topic: Auto IP blocking

[bracey]

E power trader used to have this feature where it could block ips with htaccess if you wanted it to. You could tell it how many times an ip could enter the page in 24/hr period or how many clicks max from the ip in 24/hrs then it would block the ip through htaccess for your determined amount of time, or forever if you wanted. I liked that feature a lot because it helped to clean up traffic. It would be even better in TP where it could block across an entire network.

Thing is TP doesnt use htaccess, if there is more people interested in this we can add it but again you would need to add some lines to your htaccess or chmod it 777!

I believe you added a line to your htaccess that checked for a list of ips in the trade script.

No, TP doesn't edit htaccess in any way!

It wouldn't be editing htaccess.

TP would be creating it's own file that is a list of ip addresses to block based on rules set by the user. Then that file would be read by htaccess which doesn't seem like such a big deal to me as giving TP the ability to edit the htaccess file.

I will see what we can do there.
