There is currently no log that show in vBulletin. I've sent you a PM on the way to check with your key.

[Snowhog]

Screen shots of the AdminCP settings options?

I've added the picture.

[ForceHSS]

you need to make it if you block a country it redirects them to there own internal ip

[Hostboard]

What method are you using to block countries?
Personally I was hoping for VB to support IP prefixes which it does not. Instead you have to list out each and every IP. Even with wild cards it is a pita...

When I saw this I was hoping I would be able to use my own zone files a they do updated periodically. Does the modification talk back to your server(s) in order to get this list or is it apart of this modification? I have not looked at the XML file directly as of yet...

It blocks them by IP address, but you don't type in IP address to block them. You will enter the country code for the country, like CN or US, each separated by a comma if you want to block more than one. Yes it does talk back to the server. Our IP lists on the server are alway up to date even with current changes.

[BoxerPrimer]

Thanks, just installed it. Lets see how it does with new spam registrations. Would really appreciate if Anti Spam software could prevent users awaiting email conformation/moderation from appearing in the whose online list while retaining the guest count.

[doctorsexy]

Installed

[doctorsexy]

Well didnt get very far with this one uninstalled due to interfering with DragonByte Tech shoutbox...

[BoxerPrimer]

Working great for me so far, about 85 % decrease in new spammer registrations. +1

Will this have any slowing effect on my server?

[RamdonGhai]

too many false positives, I had to disable this

[koneil]

Will this have any slowing effect on my server?

No, I have a couple very high traffic vb forums and it doesn't effect my server at all.

[koneil]

Well didnt get very far with this one uninstalled due to interfering with DragonByte Tech shoutbox...

What was it doing? I'm using shoutbox on one of my forums and it has no effect.

[doctorsexy]

The notifications of posts in the shoutbox stopped working ...it worked before installing this mod, and its working after uninstalling it. but not when it was installed...:D

[koneil]

Yeah that's very interesting, because it only hooks into 2 hooks.

newpost_complete - if you use the post scan.
register_addmember_process - for the registration checks.

Its a very light mod.

[doctorsexy]

Would there be a fix for this....

[koneil]

I'm looking into it. What version of shoutbox do you have?

[doctorsexy]

DragonByte Tech: vBShout (Pro) 6.1.0

[koneil]

DragonByte Tech: vBShout (Pro) 6.1.0

It looks like we are both using the newpost_complete. Looks like it was the executionorder, I set mine to a lower number and re-uploaded the XML file.

[doctorsexy]

That did the trick..thanks

[doctorsexy]

how do i check or know if it is blocking a country

i would like to know this aswell ..please

[BoxerPrimer]

Been using it for a week now. Happy to report that spam registrations have dropped from about 250 everyday to about 10 a day !

Would love to have a country safe list in the next version like the country block list option. I.e I should be able to add my country to the safe list, anyone registering from my country should not be flagged as spam.

Good support as well. Overall 5 Stars.

[koneil]

When updating version, uninstall and then reinstall.

PLEASE COPY YOUR API KEY BEFORE UPDATING

v1.3 - Added section to Allow or Block countries. Last version only blocked countries.

[BoxerPrimer]

Thanks. Allow / Block countries is working a little weird though. There should be two lists Allow & Block not Allow OR Block.

If for example I choose to allow the US then all other countries will be blocked or I can't block indivual ones. Example if I choose Block UK then all other countries except UK will be able to register but if I choose to Allow UK then all other countries except UK will be blocked !

What do I do when I want to allow US and UK but block China ?? This is currently not possible.

An ideal way would be to have two lists, one for Block and the other for Allow. This would let me allow the countries that I want on my safe list and block spamming destinations like China or Ukraine. Nothing from the country on the Allow list should be blocked.

Btw the support from the developers is quite good. I get email updates of spam attacks with IP, countries and spammers email info.

What do I do when I want to allow US and UK but block China ?? This is currently not possible.

In this scenario it sounds like those are the only two countries you would like to allow, so you would set the countries to ALLOW and put US,UK in the allow country list. All the other countries will be blocked.

The idea is to narrow down what countries you want to Allow or Block. If you just want to block countries from your site then set it to Block and enter the list of countries you don't want to register. Example.. I don't want China, Ukraine and Poland to register to my site, so I set it to BLOCK and enter the country code of those countries. If just want to allow countries I would set it to ALLOW enter just the countries I want to register, US,UK,JP

It actually works the way you want it to, you want to allow US and UK but block China and Ukraine. Two ways of doing this, you can either ALLOW the two countries you want or block the countries you don't want. Its easier to ALLOW if you already know the countries you want. So set it to ALLOW and put US,UK in the country list. If you want to BLOCK, set it to BLOCK and put CN,UA in the country list. This will do exactly what you want it to do.

Great news, we're working on some new things that I hope it helps forum owners get an idea on what happening to their forum.

What did you set the execution order to? I've changed in the xml file. If you turn off the post checks does it work?

[doctorsexy]

changed it to 4

[koneil]

changed it to 4

Try the one that I uploaded, its set to 8. 4 won't work because it has to be after shout box, that's what my test have shown.

[doctorsexy]

working now..thanks

[koneil]

working now..thanks

You're welcome!

Hope everyone that downloaded and installed got their website statistics page yesterday. For you that don't know, we send out a page that give you stats about your forum. We will be adding more statistics in the future. With these stats you can really determine where people are trying to register from and help cut down on spam.

[djmac]

This has to be the best functional MOD I ever had the pleasure of using. My SPAM Junk from every former eastern block country to China has come to a complete halt. "NO MORE SPAM" Of course it works better on my site because it is tailored for US Military Veterans. But none the less it works perfectly for me. Great Job. ***** Five Stars :up:

Don

[Foxtrotelite]

I just got my key and turned this mod on.. Within 10 minutes it blocked 5 spammers from China.

This mod along with SpammersSuck1.0 knocks out a TON of spam.

Thanks for making this

[Moshe1010]

2 Questions:
1. Would it work with 4.1.11?
2. Would it block spammer IPs on the PHP level? meaning not letting them to enter my website at all, not just registration (like blocking IPs through htaccess)

Thanks.

Thanks.

1. Yes, it should work fine.
2. No, it wasn't designed to do that. It would be more efficient to block IP's at your firewall, ie. iptables, pf. or in your htaccess file.

@koneil (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=204451)

please be aware that it takes someones months before the developer will PM you the key, i waited 4 months

and btw i know your not the developer, you should really put details on who to contact to get the antispam key

as you will be contacted by members here who you can't support in that way

First of all, I'm sorry it took so long to receive your key, I'm really not sure why it took that long. Second, I am the developer and for you to jump into a thread and accuse me of not being the developer is rude and not called for, so you might want to get all your facts straight before accusing someone of something thats not true.

If someone needs to contact me they can write me at my email address kevin @ fassim.com. I stand by our product and support it 100% and there are a lot of people that would back me up on that.

If someone wants key they will need to request it from our website http://www.fassim.com/get-api-key/

We've had our plugin on vb org for a while under the old vb3.8 plugin (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=254793), I just hadn't uploaded it for the new vb4. I got chemical lung burn and got really sick, could do anything for a long time. That slowed down the development of Fassim, but now that I'm heathy, development is our main priority.

As for the beta on the logo, it needs to be removed. We haven't been in beta for a while now.

Thanks!

If the new registering member is determined to be a bot or spammer, they will receive a message telling them they are not allowed to register.

Would it be possible to include my webmaster email address for the supposed spammer?

[koneil]

I could add an additional field to allow people to append a line to the error message.

Great!

In the meantime, just an hour after installing and removing my own blocklist, I see quite a few registration attempts not getting through. So far so good...

[DAMINK]

Installed.
Requested key and received it moments later.
Just waiting for a CN or RU member to try register now actually.
So far so good. Thankyou Koneil.

[Foxtrotelite]

Easy installation, received my key soon after.

I run this mod in conjunction with SpammersSuck1.0. SS helped me out a lot, but I was still getting 20 or 30, or sometimes more spam registrations each day. Some days worse than others. Since installing this mod I have had only ONE [1] spammer get thru and that was about an hour after install. I just manually added his IP to the ban list. Since that point I have had zero spammers and for that reason I love this mod.

Thanks for developing this koneil.

btw, most of my spammers come from CN

[koneil]

Thanks everyone for the support and great feedback!

[Alibass]

@koneil

Thanks for this great mod. Works really nice. :):up:

I would like to request an addon option if I may. Maybe in one of your future releases you can add an option to ignore Usergroup ID's when scanning for spam posts?

Yes that sounds like a great idea.

So what we have coming up in the the next release will be:

1. append message to error block message.
2. ignore usergroup id

Thanks everyone!

I've come across an issue since installing this. This addon has blocked quite a few legit registrations based on emails but is also still allowing numerous spammers to get through. I have multi-checked the settings and looked at the stats page and it does show a ton of attempts being blocked overall.

Is this issue occurring for anyone else?

The stats page doesn't show who is block, just gives a overview of what's happened in the last 24 hours. It will show how many times a email, IP has tried to register. Also showing where the users are coming from.

I've only heard of 4 or 5 forums complaining about blocking legit users and that's out of 1,000's of forums that are using it. Most of them are because they are using disposable email addresses or they are using a proxy trying to register.

If you are having issue of people registering, please send me the information emails and ip's and I will look to why they were blocked, if they are in our database there must be a reason.

I tried it on 3.7.2 and up and could not get an error, everything worked fine for me. Do you have any other plugins that might be conflicting?

[Easy5s.net]

edit .

[koneil]

FYI:

If a few spammers are getting through, its because our server is at its load and we are in the process of upgrading to new servers. This will help us out a lot!

Thanks everyone for the support!

Only 1 came through here out of 446 tries in the last 2 weeks.
I use both Fassim and GlowHost Spam-O-Matic.

[motorhaven]

I have a question for koneil before installing this mod, and I'm a little surprised this has been asked in the year+ this mod has been available:

There have no privacy policy on your site. I have no assurances concerning what is done with the IP and email data of legit user registrations which are passed to your API. Can you clarify this both here and on your site?

Data is stored to determine whether or not the user is a spammer using our algorithms. After a certain number of days the data is purged. We do NOT use the data ("IP's, Email addresses") for any other use but to determine where the user is located and if the user is a spammer. If a IP or Email address has high amount of traffic, classifying it as a "spammer", we will display this information publicly or share it to others.

I will update our website with a privacy policy.

Thanks!

[motorhaven]

Thank you for the fast response! I feel much better now and will install the mod later today. :)

[koneil]

Sorry guys for the slow development. I've been fighting valley fever, which really sucks, look it up if you don't know anything about it.

The plugin is still active and we are slowing making it better. So please spread the word about our great plugin.

Fassim Alerts are up and running! The Fassim system will send you an email when your forum is under attack with the IP addresses and the number of times they've tried in a 10 minute span. This will allow you to take quick action and block the bots at the firewall, eliminating spam and reducing your server resources.

Thanks for everyones support!

Does this ban countries from accessing the site or just registering?

Here's the link to the country codes.

http://fassim.com/country-codes/

And this will only work at the registration process.

[moonclamp]

I noticed the link after I installed, so edited my post. Thanks for that. Considering we're a UK based site and most of our spam is coming from Asia, it makes more sense to block these registrations than waste resources. This may be just what I need and far simpler than glowhost :)

No problem.

Thanks! Lets hope if works out well for you!

[moonclamp]

We've had something like 12 thousand attempted spam signups in the last few months - so everything that does the job is appreciated! :)

When a user is blocked, do they get a specific message or just the standard "we cannot register you right now"?

Yes, they're displayed an error telling why they can't register.. whether it be country block or email match.. etc.

[moonclamp]

Hmmm ... I have set the UK as an allowed country (UK website, hosted in the UK).

Anyway, just had a message from a user with a UK IP address asking why his country has been blocked!

86.157.161.***

[moonclamp]

Scrap that! I think it was 'cos I entered UK instead of GB! :o

[koneil]

Let me know if you have questions.

[moonclamp]

Scrap that! I think it was 'cos I entered UK instead of GB! :o
Nope, it isn't that. I tried to set up a test account and wasn't allowed in :confused:

[koneil]

Can you send me a screenshot of your config in vb and your domain name to my email address: kevin @ fassim.com?

[moonclamp]

I've changed the config now so it won't show what you need.

It was set to "allow "with just a small handful of countries given access. I could tell from online.php that it was actually blocking signups, so I assume that the UK/GB IP list is incomplete.

I spent a long time making an opposite list and now have it set to block ... so far, so good! :)

I checked all the IP addresses from my logs that your server tried to lookup they show United Kingdom and a few other countries. The list that we use is a commercial list that is updated constantly so I don't think that is the issue.

If you give me that IP addresses that we're giving you issues, I will run them through and confirm that they are in our system correctly.

I'm glad everything is running good now!

[moonclamp]

86.157.161.164 was the user who couldn't sign up.
87.74.77.232 is my one that failed when I created a test account.

Both are listed at country code = GB

[moonclamp]

Both are listed at country code = GB
In which case there's possibly a problem with the "allow" option.

[koneil]

In which case there's possibly a problem with the "allow" option.

I just tried only Allow US on my forum and I could register fine. Then I set it to a different country to test to make sure it wouldn't let me and I couldn't. So I know that part works fine.

[moonclamp]

Well that's clearly not the case here, although it may be a conflict with another plugin.

The solution I have seems to be working though, it just means a bigger list of blocked countries.

I'm happy, so no worries :)

[fly]

Does this block them from even attempting to register, or does the block happen after they actually register?

[ozzy47]

As it states in the first post:

If the new registering member is determined to be a bot or spammer, they will receive a message telling them they are not allowed to register.

[fly]

As it states in the first post:

Yeah, that doesn't answer my question, which is why I asked it. WHEN are they notified?

[ozzy47]

The way I read it, is if they enter their info, and press submit, it is checked at that point, it don't block them from the site or from trying to register.

[koneil]

1. They hit submit.
2. Their information is checked against our servers and returned with response.
3. They are blocked if determined to be a spammer depending on what settings you have enabled. ( email, ip, proxy...etc. ).

[ForceHSS]

When you ban by country can they even see the forum or does it be blank for them

[koneil]

The banned by country will block users from registering to the forum, it will not block them from viewing.

What country and what's the IP that you're trying to block.

Hello there,

Are denied registration attempts logged? I'd like to check why some users are being denied registration. I suspect it's down to their gmx.de mailboxes, but can't be sure.

Thanks :)

Hi Adam,

Yes it does come down to that domain. Its listed under Top Spamming Domains. We get tens of thousands of spam from that domain.

Turn off Top Spamming Domains and you should be good.

[Techno Cowboy]

Downloaded Again & Have Requested API Key (Twice)...?

Developer/Coder Appears Not To Be Supporting This Any Longer, As They Haven't Updated, Nor Have They Been Online for Some Time Now & Website Still Not Accepting Key Request...Still! :confused:

Shame, As This Plug-in Seemed To Have Great Potential.....Alas, Will Un-install A 2nd Time & Move On! :(

[RedKilla]

Great,,,should have read all the posts before I installed.

Currently not accepting any more key requests. Please check back later..

[marysnow786]

[moonclamp]

Does every site need a separate key?

It's been a while since I installed this and, with the site being down, I cannot remember - but could I use the key from a previous installation on another domain?

[brandon515]

Looks like the site no longer exists and my old key no longer works. Is there a way to modify this plugin so that it can look to my site for the list of countries and IP's? All I really need it for is to prevent specific countries from registering.

[RichieBoy67]

Some of my clients use this mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=198440

[RichieBoy67]

I don't think it will block but it will moderate..

[djbaxter]

Yes, that mod, Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Moderate New Registrations Based On IP Geographical Origin - vBulletin.org Forum (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=198440), was still working well on a forum where I was an admin. You do need to update the IP addresses periodically (see the mod instructions) but it worked well on 4.2.x sites.

I only stopped using it because the forum went to full moderation for all new registrations.

[RichieBoy67]

Really? That hasn't happened to me. I haven't done anything with the ips...

[djbaxter]

You should be updating them. With declining IP4 addresses, and reassigning them to other locales, by now you are probably blocking IPs you don't want to block. For example, several IP4 ranges that used to be in Asian countries are now assigned to the US.

[RichieBoy67]

At the very worst they go into moderation I believe. I will have to check as it has been awhile. Thanks

[djbaxter]

That's correct but if your clients are assuming any registration in moderation is "bad" they might not be checking further.

[koneil]

Hi guys,

I quit updating this MOD long ago, but am work on something new and better.

I'll keep you posted.

@RichieBoy67
You'll need to keep those IP updated. IP owners change all the time.

Fassim you didn't have to worry about that because we kept everything up to date on our end.. when a request came in it would check in real time.

[RichieBoy67]

I will get onto updating those right now.. I will also check that moderation queue though I suspect they update it daily.

Thanks guys

## Took 2 minutes.. :)
