Prevent Multiple Registrations From Same IP Address · **Released**: 04-04-2006

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.

I installed it anyway

Please see if the above can be implemented.

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.

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.

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.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
