Ha ha, that is the original instruction dude....

Line 207 is 3 from the arse end of config.php...:D

Yeah, I saw that. My IP was in there, though. Beats me.

Christ on a bicycle. Mate, when it comes to vBulletin, I am at the arse end of the food chain.

I don't even know how to install DBTech mods so I started a thread and got an answer as stupid as the question.

That's right, I suck.

Me too owd lad, and a few others...

We suck! Although suck is not a term I would use in these matters...That term is generally applicable with my girlfriend....

Anyway, do test and let us know if this is a good un....

Test what, good sir? I already said I got it to work.

Yeah but have you tried from another IP?

Oh, right. Sorry homes.

No, I haven't. You? I don't have the VB awesomeness to branch out any further, I don't think. Was yours one of the many forums to get hacked? Is that why you're in here? I got done twice and had to pay for a clean up.

Not hacked yet, here to try and prevent that...

I did go out with my android device and attempted to log in form a different IP. It was stopped in it's tracks and I was also given an email of the details..Good!

I haven't tried to access from another IP that has been input as safe...and allowed access to adminCP.

This is what I will do next...

I expect the steps are as follows.

Go to the bar, get a pint of Guinness, find a table...
Log in to try and access adminCP. Get failure details passed on to my email..

Alternatively, finish the Guinness, get another one and then find my current IP. Go to FTP, add the new IP to the config.php (at the top) and then attempt another log in..

My plan..+ a few more Guinness incentives...:up:

haha! Nice! I've gotten a tad thirsty suddenly.

How'd you go, monsieur?

Not so good sire, big typhoon outside and not really worth going out there. Typhoon Usagi just made landfall in the north east and is blowing a little too much for outdoor activities..

You live in Japan? The Rabbit Typhoon?

Currently homeless in Hong Kong..Live in China normally but there is a visa situation that is not working in my favour...

Thank you so much! I got hacked yesterday, and IP blocking is the only thing I can think of to do since it seems to be a VB vulnerability.

Big donation sent you way!

Thanks! I was wondering what it was when I got the email ;)

Visa issues blow. I live in Japan but am married to a Japanese chick. No dramas there. Take the plunge and make half-cast babies! Worked for me! :cool:

I gotta get this mod to work!

Not been to Japan yet, was gonna go during November before the winter hits..
Got a girlfriend in China but as regards babies, naaghh!:eek:

Same error with me. I added:

// This to disable AdminCP Firewall.
define('CPFIREWALLDISABLEIPDENY', true);
// This to Disable Hooks
define('DISABLE_HOOKS',true);

in the config file. and when I go to the mod to enter my new ip I get this:

Fatal error: Class 'EmailAddressValidator' not found in XXXXXX/html/includes/adminfunctions_options.php(925) : runtime-created function on line 6

and I have NO SAVE BUTTON at the bottom of the screen!!!!!!! Help....

Ok, took the HOOKS definition out and it works.... for anyone having the same issues. Just used the first definition (CPFIREWALL)...

Just one gripe..

emails still come to the admin regardless of the ip's permitted access..

By that I mean an ip that is recorded as being ok, there is still a notification sent and it is the same notification as the 'attempted' access...


And this bit never changes...

It is always, 'This IP matched the following forum user(s)'.

Aren't the brackets () meant to change something?

Works well otherwise...

No the brackets are meant to define singular or plural. user being singular, user(s) being plural.

VB 3.8.7 friendly?

Marvelous! Trust your judgement....:up:

Ill ask the question again.. Is it VB 3.8.7 PL3 friendly?

I don't see anything in the XML that stands out as it would not work, best thing to do would be to do a backup, then try the mod out. :)

Added this but having an issue with IP-Range what's the format it for it?
I added it this way 86.99.*.* Doesn't seem to work.

I've added the IP but it gives me a restricted message any idea why?

It should work, what is the message you are getting?
What version of vB and PHP are you running?

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/login.php(119) : eval()'d code on line 4

I am getting this warning even after putting an IP in the admin user field. I notice it does this after I click on the admincp and have to put my pw in again to verify. If I type in the wrong pw this error comes up. Why? Thanks.

BUMP!!

Anyone????

But going by the small info you have given it looks like a conflict with a hook from a custom plugin and this one using the same
look over all plugins using login_failure hook
If you still are having problems use this plugin it does the same but many more things

Is this mod IPv6 aware and safe?

Nice.
