How to enable IP Protection
IP Protection logic allows site administrators to limit number of internet unique IP addresses
the member can use to access premium content from.
The main purpose of this feature is to prevent losses due to theft as well as to boost
membership site revenues by preventing login sharing between multiple people. This
happens in a scenario where one person pays for access and then split costs (as well as
login credentials) with any number of other people.
IP Protection settings are accessible through MemberWingX -> General Settings screen.
The following settings are available:
* IP Protection enabled
This setting allows you to globally enable/disable IP Protection.
Default: disabled.
* IP Protection max allowed addresses
This setting limits user to a specific number of different IP addresses he can use to login
from.
Attempt to access premium content from more than this number of IP addresses will
cause "Access Denied" warning.
Default: 3 (for example: home, office, coffee shop)
When user is first logged into the site - his new, unique IP address will be saved into
"Registered IP Addresses" table.
In subsequent attempts to access premium content user's IP address will be matched to
these "Registered IP Addresses" table.
If user's current IP address is contained within this table - user will be allowed to proceed.
Otherwise - access will be denied.
"Registered IP Addresses" table can be accessed for every user at Users->username
screen.
* IP Protection IP address filter mask
How IP address matching is performed.
Default: nnn.nnn.nnn.* - which means that last octet of IP address will be ignored during
comparisons.
Possible settings:
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn - exact match is required between user's current IP address and
previously registered IP addresses.
nnn.nnn.*.* - ignore last two octets in IP address comparison.
* IP Protection Access denied message
This message will show up when user will be denied access to premium content due to IP
Protection logic.
