Forum based IP filter · **Released**: 08-09-2007

Tags
Advanced permissions, IP address, filter, protection, security, forum.

Description
This mod adds the option to only allow forum access to certain IP addresses. If a user attempts to access a forum and it's IP is not on the allowed list, he gets an error message.

The IP lists are inherited (so if you protect a forum, all it's sub forums are protected as well).

Installation
All you have to do is change one file and import the product.

After that all you have to do is set which IP's are allowed to access which forum.

Nice Hack

Can i use hostnames ?? Or are this only for ip?

BartS · #3 08-10-2007, 06:04 PM

It basically works the same as banning a person. So just IP's, no hostnames.

Wouldn't it just be easier to create a usergroup, add them, then make a forum private for that usergroup and above?

I imagine this would be best suited for security reasons preventing access if someone's account was compromised.

This is exactly what I needed a while back, and will still come in handy! Thanks

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