Add-Ons [XTR] IP Threat Monitor 1.0.28

[Official]

A new update is available for [XTR] IP Threat Monitor by Offical.

[XTR] IP Threat Monitor 1.0.28​

Update highlights​

This update fixes a critical bug in the error page rate limiting feature based on customer feedback. The feature now works as intended, providing better protection against scraping bots that ignore error responses!

Scraping bots often ignore error responses and continue hammering your site with requests to restricted pages, user profiles, and non-existent content. This fix ensures these bots are now properly detected and blocked, reducing server load and protecting your content.

Complete Change Log​

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this. We've already identified and fixed this issue on our end.

The error you're seeing happens because your site currently has the older version of the add-on files. The fix has been applied to our download system, but your site still runs the previous code.

To resolve this, please follow these steps:

1. Go to your Admin Panel → Add-ons
2. Uninstall the IPThreatMonitor add-on
3. Re-download the latest version from our store
4. Upload and install the freshly downloaded file

After reinstalling, this error will no longer appear in your logs.

We apologize for the inconvenience!

Thanks for your quick reply.

Now I have a question, because I always install updates relatively quickly,
and I already had version 1.0.28 installed when I asked my question.
Am I doing something wrong with the updates (the way I'm doing it)?

I'm a little hesitant because I'd have to redo all the settings and the German translation.
That would mean again over 500 language changes in addition to the settings.
Currently, the error isn't occurring anymore. I initially tried recreating the files.

Sorry for asking again!

Mike

You don't need to uninstall anything. Your settings, translations, and all data are completely safe.
