nice feature, but how do you even seen users on the site? I belive there is no who is online page in this software?

[vekia 8,950]

hello @devilsown

 

sorry but i don't understand what you mean by that, can you explain to me what you exactly expect?

 

You don't know how to get user ip address?

[devilsown 25]

what i am asking is how would you use this modual? prestashop does not have a built in who is online list like oscommerce has. How do you know who is on the site so you can make a decision to use your modual properly.

[vekia 8,950]

Thanks for the clarification.

 

You can get IP address in many ways.

1. first example - you've got stats in prestashop, you can get ip addresses there (it's easy to find crawlers and other unfriendly robots there).
   
2. You can use also chat like ZOPIM - you've got there full list of online guests with full specification (ip, os, browser, etc.)
   
3. Many of hosting providers have got own statistics (like awstats ot sth. similar) - you can also get IP address here
   
4. If you have got an access to the apache / php error log - you can easy find crawlers and robots there
   
5. If you're on own VPS / dedicated server - you can easily check logs for IP address
   
6. ...and much more...

Nice move vekia, i think 10 ip adressess are enough for a free version and we appreciate that

[vekia 8,950]

We're still waiting for the new FREE version.

Edited September 8, 2013 by fuba (see edit history)

[vekia 8,950]

i will release update as soon as possible, for now i've got a lot of work with commercial stuff.

@fuba you're waiting for...? can you explain please?

[fuba 0]

i have installed prestashop ver.1.4.9 and this module,everything is fine.

but i have two annoying spammer and i can block only one of them

now i blocked this IP:91.200.13.16 and waiting for module update

[fuba 0]

thank you jolvil.

unfortunately i dont have direct access to .htaccess file. my host dont allow this

i'm new in prestashop , can you explain step by step tutorial for ban ip in prestashop?

[jolvil 78]

After you have enabled Friendly URLs, you MUST generate a new .htaccess file: go to the "Tools" tab, "Generators" sub-tab, check the "Friendly URL" box, and then click the "Generate .htaccess file" button. This will create a new.htaccess file at the root of the PrestaShop folder.

You can add banned IP lines on in the generator's "Specific configuration" field.

hi thx, where is download for new version?  still says 1 ip here http://mypresta.eu/modules/administration-tools/block-ip-free.html

[vekia 8,950]

free module ban ip address updated!

now it works with prestashop 1.6. We added also additional fields to enter IP addresses.

[Centio 9]

Thanks. Another great free module.

[STS 1]

Need some help.  I am trying to use this module to block ip addresses of those placing advertising comments Blog posts on my site.  Just installed earlier today and tested on two IP's.  

 

 

 

 

I did a ping to determine their ip.  

 

It has been a few hours and I have gotten another post from survocom.com, see text below:

 

From : cheap jordans

 

Url : "JUNKwww.survocom.com/jordans.php"

 

Comment :

 

 

 

This comment is attached to the news :...

 

Any idea why it would be getting through?  I pinged address again and gave same ip. Any suggestions?  

 

*NOTE typed JUNK in front of the URLs so I would not give them any additional free advertising.

 

I hope to get comfortable with this before moving on to the pro version.  

 

Thanks!

[STS 1]

Is it possible to block a range of ip addresses?  Still trying to solve issue with survocom.  Their hosting provider Psychz Networks operates a block of ips 192.184.32.0/19.  Considering blocking all of these in case survocom has a dynamic ip.  (not sure it works that way, I am just guessing)

[Centio 9]

Ban IP is great tool for quick blocking of IP.

 

In case of attack you rather use firewall block or add IP (range) to .htaccess

[STS 1]

I am still trying to determine my issue.  I do not believe it is a problem with BAN IP, but is an issue with determining what IP is adding the content.  

 

Visits and visitors is only showing how many visitors I have, not IP address.  From discussion above, it looks like within the stats it MAY be storing the IP of the visitors.  Is this correct?  Can you tell me where to access it?

[Centio 9]

If you enable datamining modules in BO then you can see visitors IP.

 

Information can also be found in your firewall or webserver logs.

[Bilegt 3]

well I think this feature should automatically block IP, who attempted three unsuccessful login etc.

[vekia 8,950]

it's not good option in my opinion, i have many accounts with different password on each website (for security reasons)

so for me i use wrong passwords more than 3 times ...

[Bilegt 3]

okay, howabout after 10 times?

[vekia 8,950]

sorry, i will not include this feature to block ip module.

[vekia 8,950]

new version of module is ready to download

added module to free official addons marketplace repository - it works with PrestaShop cloud!

[lateral 32]

Hi Vekia

 

This is a great module!

 

I was working on my web store and noticed that I have 458 visitors in the last 30 minutes which was obviously incorrect!

 

I checked the stats for the IP Address and it was coming from Germany...I'm located in Australia and it looked as though it was constantly bombarding my shop....

 

I found this free module and configured it to block the IP and the visit count has dropped down to what it should be....

 

Thanks again Vekia!

 

Regards

Greg

[durangodave 5]

I just dl this and i only see three ip fields, i thought the free version was for 10 ip, i can add the fields myself?

 

i did add 4 - 10 to all parts of of code and seems to work.  If i need more than 10 i will buy the module, thanks so much for the module... nice job

Is it also possible to block a range of ip's in the pro-version. there are a lot o bots with nearly the same ip's. But the last nummer is changing.

[durangodave 5]

you can always block ranges if you have root access or if your host has given you reseller access to configserver firewall.   If not just try this in your htaccess

 

For example:

 

• /8 means that #.0.0.0 the zero range will be blocked.
• /16 means that #.#.0.0 the zero range will be blocked.
• /24 means that #.#.#.0 the zero range will be blocked.
• /32 is a single full ip block such as 1.1.1.1

so

 

deny from 123.456.789.000/24  

 

means that anything that is 123.456.789.???   will be blocked

this site has some good tricks for stopping spammers.

[cycleelcyc 3]

looks not work for PS1.6?

[cycleelcyc 3]

brought Pro version, it is a great module.

may i know if it is possible to block all ip like : 127.0.xxx.xxx, not to type one by one?

 

thanks.

[AngelSpeedy 11]

This module not work well in 1.4.11, when i block some ip, the mensage appear in the first page, but the customer can see the products categories in the left side and he can navigate and see any product normaly, the mensage only appear in the first page but the others pages are normal..

 

This tool must block any website page not only one page, and can`t give acess to the website..

 

Can you solve this and see what is the problem ?

 

Tks..

Thank you & Best Regards ,

hello

are you 100% sure that it is 1.3.1.1 ?

[GTR 5]

Hi,

I got this module installed for prestashop 1.6.0.9. but doesn't seem to block the ip I wanted to block.

I have an online chat were I can see who's on live, but the blocked one (some sort of bot I presume) is still online watching every day.

 

Any advise?

[durangodave 5]

Hi, i dont use PS anymore, closed my business, however try adding the IP Deny  to your .htaccess file and see if that works.  If that does not work then the bot could be changing proxies on the fly. 

[GTR 5]

Thanks for advice, will try that later today

[melvita 0]

this module is not free, it s an advertise for a pay module,  for peapole who need to block ip , edit your htaccess and add rule like this : Deny from 111.11.1.0

[spil 0]

Hi!

I have BanIP PRO but how to block a range of IP numbers in it?

Have only managed to block single ip numbers one at a time. It is a LOT of work to keep spammers out

[zabamich 3]

Any update to use range of ip to block?

I have your latest pro version and I can add ony one ip.

Can be possible to adding range of ip to block access?
