Add-Ons [XTR] IP Threat Monitor 1.0.4

[Offical]

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

[XTR] IP Threat Monitor 1.0.4​

Update highlights​

This release focuses on performance optimization and bug fixes related to the VPN/Proxy detection feature. Users experiencing high API usage with ProxyCheck.io will see a dramatic reduction in API calls.

Key Highlights
Performance Optimization
The VPN/Proxy detection system has been completely rearchitected for efficiency:

• Before: API was called on every HTTP request for every unique IP
• After: API is only called when an IP actually exceeds the rate limit threshold

This change reduces API usage by 90-99% for typical forum traffic, making the free ProxyCheck.io tier (1,000 requests/day) viable for most forums.
Improved Error Handling
The system now intelligently handles API failures:

• Individual IP errors are cached for 1 hour
• Global quota exhaustion triggers a 1-hour cooldown
• 5 consecutive errors within 5 minutes triggers a 30-minute cooldown
• Your forum continues to work normally even when the API is unavailable

Auto-Ban Fix
Fixed a critical issue where the Auto-Ban feature was not working when using Captcha protection modes. Now, repeated violators will be permanently blacklisted regardless of which protection mode you use.

Complete Change Log​

Fixed
Critical Performance Fix: VPN/Proxy API check no longer runs on every HTTP request
API Quota Exhaustion: System now gracefully handles ProxyCheck.io quota limits without hammering the API
Auto-Ban in Captcha Modes: Fixed issue where Auto-Ban rules were not working when protection mode was set to "Captcha (Soft)" or "Captcha (Hard)"

Changed

• VPN check now only executes when an IP exceeds the rate limit threshold
• API errors are now cached for 1 hour to prevent repeated failed calls
• API quota exhaustion triggers a 1-hour cooldown instead of continuous retries
• Consecutive API errors (5 within 5 minutes) trigger a 30-minute API cooldown
• Auto-Ban now works in all protection modes, not just "Block Only"

Improved

• Reduced API calls by 90-99% for typical forum traffic
• Added global API health monitoring
• Better error handling with three-state cache (VPN/safe/pending)

Osman abi, aşırı trafikten banlanan bir IPnin normal bir üye IPsine denk gelme ihtimali var mıdır? Varsa eklenti bunu algılayabiliyor mu?

Dear Guests, welcome! Please, Giriş Yap or Kayıt Ol to view hide content!

Evet bu mümkün Fatih bey. (Paylaşılan IP'ler, mobil operatörler, dinamik IP'ler), ama eklenti buna karşı da koruma sağlamaktadır.
Nasıl çalışıyor:

• Giriş yapmış üyeler korunuyor IP blacklist'te olsa bile engellenmezler ayarlarda "Protect Registered Members" açık olduğu sürece
• Admin ve moderatörler her zaman korunuyor IP ne olursa olsun asla engellenmezler
• Misafirler etkilenebilir Ama captcha çözerek devam edebilirler (Captcha modu aktifse)

Önerilen Ayarlar:

1. Protect Registered Members = AÇIK
2. Block Only yerine Captcha (Soft) modu
3. Ban Duration değerini 5-10 dakika (kalıcı değil)

Özet olarak üyeleriniz güvende kalacaktır. Sadece blacklist'teki IP'yi kullanan misafirler geçici bir captcha ile karşılaşabilir. Eğer gerçek ziyaretçi ise captcha çözerek erişim sağlar.
