IpInfo is a replacement for the standard 'view users ip' option in
vBulletin. Normally when you click on the view ip button in a user's post
you'll only see his or hers ip address and host name.
With ipInfo you'll get more information. Besides the ip address and host
name you will also see what other users have posted with the same ip
address. That feature can be really good for spotting clones.
Another thing ipInfo will show you is what other ips this user has posted
with and how many times. Could be useful when you want to ban all of the
ips of a user and not just the one of that post.
Easy Update:
- Update XML product
- replace the file on the server.
Settings:
AdminCP => vBulletin Options => Message Posting and Editing Options
- IP Info
- IP Info Access

hi Johnny, just a question, i saw that by default the records of the users' ip are 60 days ... i've increased this value to 600 ... maybe i can makes my forum slowly? i think that this data goes into the DB ...

Everything ok ?
- not a lot of noise from this thread
Well now you come to mention it..............
This was working beautifully, today I checked a couple of IP's against posts and the info was totally wrong, I then looked at a post of my own,it showed that 13 members also share the same IP which they most certainly do not especially as some are from a different continent and also it shows me as only having one post on that IP yet I have had the same IP for @ 10 days and made a number of posts.
Have tried re-installing again today but the same thing happened,sadly unistalled for now.
Suggestions:
- why don't you combine the idea of Multiple Login Detector (AEdetector) with your product, to enable searching for clone-accounts?
- what about banned users (independently if through infractions or pure ban)? would that be possible to make it more visible, that some user is sharing IP with a banned one?
