usually its the second option

If you wish I could probably add an option to only allow your country. As for the proxies, why would it matter to block them? They will already be blocked. You are defining the IPs that you wish to ALLOW access to the AdminCP, so if they are using a proxy they won't have access.


The main reason for me is if I add a new Administrator I don't want to leave the AdminCP to go open up my ftp client to download the file and add their IP. To me this is just a good feature to have.

Another reason is that not all servers support the .htaccess IP denying. I know my old server use to not allow me. I had to call them up to actually get them to allow an IP.


I added a way to disable the modification via ftp. Once disabled change your IP settings and then reupload the files from the modification.

As far as a regular way to do it without uploading anything, would partial IPs work for people who's IP changes? If so I could add an option for this.

thnx for the fast respond,and for the change i will try it now.and please add that option for ip change cause my ip changes alot.do i have to install both.one thing more.the index.php is for 3.7.2 pl1 and i am running pl2.does it matter? thnx

No it doesn't matter. The index did not change in PL2 so it will work on both. As far as installing both. No ONLY install the "Disable AdminCP Allowed IPs" if you lock yourself out. Cause it will disable the modification.

As far as you having multiple IPs, the script I use to block IPs is not complex enough to detect partial IPs. So what I am going to do is do what VBulletin should have done.

2.0- Now you can allow access to the Admin CP by IP Addresses, User Groups, and User IDs.

thnx man working great and i will nominate this one.i think this should be an standard in VB.and strict banning rules.good work thnx

Thanks, glad you like it.

i checked it today with proxy and its fine.and u were right about by adding usergroup or user id options it will make it uselessfor it to do what it suppose to do.
one suggestion though, two rather if it is possible

1. if you can add an option that if someone tries to access the admin cp it will put that user into a certain usergroup of our choice like ban users or in active so the board owner can track it down with their ip.cause no one wants that user on the board.

2. an extra option to enable the supermod access only with their ip.cause after admin s.mod is the only one with alot of power.
i know its too much to ask,but it will be appreciated if u can make it happen.thnx

1.) I could probably get someway to log the username that tries to access the admincp, but banning them seems a little harsh? Cause what if someone Instant Messages another member with a link to the AdminCP hidden inside another link. Then they are instantly banned for no reason. However if you track who has attempted to get to the AdminCP, you can do what ever action you wish.


2.) Super Mods are not suppose to access the AdminCP, theres a separate folder for moderators called ModCP.

i think that will work if their info show .thnx man

K I am actually doing a project for someone else, so once I finish with it, I will start on the logger.
