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
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
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.
