Prevent Multiple Registrations From Same IP Address
 
Prevent Registrations From Same IP Address

Description: Limits the number of users registering from the same IP address

Installation and Usage:
  • Import product-noregsameip.xml
  • Go to the ACP > vBulletin Options > User Registration Options
  • Towards the bottom of the page are your options for limiting user registrations with identical IP addresses

ACP Options:
  • Enable/disable registration or post IP limits
  • Set the number of allowed users per IP address used for registering
  • Set the number of allowed users per IP address used for posting
  • Set the error message displayed when the user limit is reached
  • Set "Allowed IP Addresses" box that is not limited by this hack, including wildcards (i.e. 192.168.0.* to allow anyone's IP starting with 192.168.0)
  • Set "Allowed Host Addresses" that is not limited by this hack, including wildcards (i.e. *.aol.com to allow anyone coming from a host ending in .aol.com)

Please click install!

Brilliant !

Before i install, is it possible to add a list which we can edit that will be Allowed to have multiple IP registrations ?

Like AOL or Many ISPs from the Middle eastern countries.

.

maharajah 04-04-2006 10:36 PM
I installed it anyway :)

Please see if the above can be implemented.

.

KidneyBoy 04-04-2006 10:39 PM
Yes I would like to see an "exceptions" list, or maybe an "exceptions" usergroup if possible.

THANK YOU for coming up with this, however *CHEERS*

*INSTALL*

Just tested it and it doesnt work.

Heres what i did.

Installed using products.
Set Force Unique IP to Yes
Set Number of Same IP Addresses to 1
Cleared Cookies and Reregistered... and it allowed me.

Are you checking the Registration IP or Post IP as well ?
Seems like u are only checking Registration IP.

.

Krofh 04-04-2006 11:07 PM
Only checking Registration IP, otherwise you'd have insane problems with public computers. Then, no two people could both post from a public computer. This hack is to be used mostly for, say, stopping one person from creating 15 accounts from their home computer.

Connector: gosh-dangit, I searched for a bit and didn't find anything that did this already, or I wouldn't have programmed it >.< though, looking at its code, it looks like that hack blocks posting IPs, whereas mine only blocks registration IPs... still though, mostly the same.

Also, Marajah: the "allowed IPs" is a good idea, I'll look into adding that.

maharajah 04-04-2006 11:10 PM
Most people IP change within a Few days, I have 3 accounts on my Board and this didint stop me from registering a new one.

U chould create an Add-on that will check Post Ips as well.

That ability, along with the existing Ability to change the error message will make this the best "prevent Multiple regitrations from same IP" hack out there at the moment.

Yes, but that one doesnt allow a Unique message like this one.

ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY THINKS OF THIS. Sorry I am just too happy, will install later when it is more stable :)

Updated to v1.0.1 with this capability. One IP address per line, and it worked when I tested it... thanks for the suggestions everyone, let me know if anything doesn't work or if you have more suggestions.

I'm going to try and get to this next, so you can set if you want Registration IP checks, Post IP checks, or neither or both.

The Chief 04-05-2006 12:28 AM
I will click install but need people to confirm it works on 3.5.2 :)

maharajah 04-05-2006 05:31 AM
Will install when new version is up :)

Now updated to v1.0.2 with this capability. Please let me know if anything doesn't work, or if you have any suggestions.

Installed without a hitch !
Tested all aspects and its working beautifully !!

Brilliant hack Krofh, this is definately the best "prevent Multiple IP" hack exising.

Setting post IP's to maximumum of 1 could be a very bad thing... members move, and many members access forums from work. They would get really annoyed to not be locked out of their accounts..

Other than that the registration part of this hack could by very helpful. :)

This hack does not stop users from logging into their account from multiple locations (ie multiple IPs).

It stops users from registering 2 accounts from the 1 computer (or network).

There should be no reason why 1 user needs to have 2 accounts.

I agreed, but I decided to just be more thorough and add all the features... you can always turn the post IP check off if you want.

Boofo 04-05-2006 02:58 PM
Is this still in beta stage then?

Krofh 04-05-2006 03:11 PM
Well, I haven't heard any problems reported, nor have I had any problems myself... so I suppose not.

Pcparts 04-05-2006 03:59 PM
What if someone lives in Qatar?
where they only have 1 ISP, which uses a proxy, and as a result everyone in the whole state shows to have the same IP.

If you expect to have lots of visitors from Qatar, then I don't recommend you using this hack :p
There is an "allowed" list though, so you could always put that one IP address in that list... this hack will then ignore that IP address.

maharajah 04-06-2006 05:25 AM
Ok, there is an issue.

When a user registers and tries to activate... he gets this message:

Quote:
Our system shows that you have already registered under a different username. Would you like to try logging in?
.

Krofh 04-06-2006 05:38 AM
Ahhhh, I could see that being a problem. Silly me didn't think of that, seeing how I don't use activation >.< I'll take a look at it.

Krofh 04-06-2006 05:49 AM
Problem fixed... sorry about that.

If you have this hack already and don't want to reinstall this, you can just modify the plugin code. Go to your Plugin Manager, and find the plugin in register_start called "Ban Registrations From Same IP Address". Replace the entire plugin code with:
Code:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'register' || $_POST['do'] == 'addmember' || $_REQUEST['do'] == 'signup') {
// Get remote addr
$vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('s','REMOTE_ADDR',TYPE_STR);

// Check if user is in allowed list
$allowed = explode("\r\n",$vbulletin->options['allowed_unique_ip']);
if (!in_array($vbulletin->GPC['REMOTE_ADDR'], $allowed)) {
// are we checking for unique registration IP?
if ($vbulletin->options['force_unique_ip']) {
        // Check for existing users who registered with the same IP address
        $k_getsame = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE ipaddress='" . $vbulletin->GPC['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "'");
        // do we have more users than we should
        if ($k_getsame[total] >= ($vbulletin->options['number_unique_ip'])) {
                // error message now
                standard_error($vbulletin->options['unique_ip_req_message'],'',true,'STANDARD_ERROR_LOGIN');
        }
}
if ($vbulletin->options['force_unique_post_ip']) {
        // Check for existing users who posted with the same IP address
        $k_getsame = $db->query_read("SELECT COUNT(*) as total, userid AS userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE ipaddress='" . $vbulletin->GPC['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "' GROUP BY userid");
        $k_temp = 0;
        while (list($k_total, $k_userid) = $db->fetch_row($k_getsame)) { $k_temp++; }
        // how many are there, is it too many?
        if ($k_temp >= $vbulletin->options['number_unique_post_ip']) {
                standard_error($vbulletin->options['unique_ip_req_message'],'',true,'STANDARD_ERROR_LOGIN');
        }
}
}
}
Or of course you can just install the new product xml.

maharajah 04-06-2006 11:13 PM
Made the changes and all seems fine now :)

Thank you for that.

Kihon Kata 04-17-2006 10:52 PM
I am getting a ton users messaging us saying that they have signed up already, or at least the message says they are. Is this due to AOL? Also, if I use the include list with an entry like 207.1 will that work?

We do have many that signup everyday.

Krofh 04-18-2006 04:25 AM
It could in fact be due to AOL, if AOL constantly is reusing IP addresses... and I'm sorry, no it doesn't currently do partial IP addresses, just full ones. How useful would having partial IP addresses be?

So, is there a solution to this? I love this hack, but it's stopping many users everyday from registering. They keep contacting me telling me that our system keeps saying that they are already registered. Is there something you can help me regarding this?

Krofh 04-19-2006 06:08 AM
Are they all coming from a set of IPs as you said, like 207.1.*.*? Because if that's the case, I could probably try and rewrite this to include wildcard IPs like that. Let me know if that would work, or if not... if that won't fix it, I'm not sure if there's much that I can do.

OH that would be cool. Well, most of them are coming from AOL, whatever AOL's set of IP are. Is there a way to find those out?

Krofh 04-20-2006 05:26 AM
Honestly, that's what I don't know. I couldn't tell you where AOL comes from, but I'd expect they'd have quite a lot of IPs and to sort through them all isn't something I have the time for. I'll try and get to this in the next couple of days, I'm rather swamped with homework right now and going to bed as soon as I click Reply.

I'm also considering an "allowed Host" thing, so you -might- (I'll have to look into this) be able to do an allow *.aol.com, thus allowing anyone on an AOL IP. I really don't know if that would physically work or not though.

That would be tight. Will wait for ya :-D

DementedMindz 04-22-2006 02:16 PM
how does this check the ip? cause i had a member register 3 times with the same ip... does it work cookie based orhow does this work???

Krofh 04-23-2006 04:34 AM
It's in the database, not based on cookies. First of all, is it turned on? Go to the ACP > vBulletin Options > User Registration Options and scroll to the bottom of the page; all your options are there, including how many you want to limit and whether or not it's enabled.

Kihon Kata: I finished a bunch of personal stuff that needed to be done first, so I'm hoping to be able to get those fixes made sometime tomorrow.

yeah its on and i have it set to 1 per register and i have the post turned off.... but i guess there was like a 2 or 3 days time frame and the member came back and made a new name... i banned 2 names from the same ip.. then i wrote them and let them know not to make no more..

Krofh 04-23-2006 08:28 PM
Are you sure they registered from the same IP? That's something worth checking in the user database or in their profiles.
