Hello

That's me again. Added yesterday the v1.0.9....

And again... and that's since v1.0.4.. in my eviroment (XF v2.37), no querries were made to proxycheck.io anymore! Stays at zero for the day.

Last "working" version for me was the v1.0.3 with daily statistics and querries with proxycheck.io. Then it seems all other features since version 1.0.3 will also not work, even though the test passed 100%. Consequently, the country flags will also not be displayed because no further entries are being made. I've already tried everything here. Reinstalling, updating from v1.0.3, always with the same result.

Hello,

We have investigated your report. The situation you are experiencing is not a bug, but rather the intended design of the "Moderate" and "Aggressive" protection modes, which are built specifically to conserve your API quota.

In these modes, the add-on only queries proxycheck.io for users who exceed rate limits or exhibit suspicious behavior. Since normal visitors are not queried, your API quota is saved; consequently, however, country data (flags) cannot be retrieved for these clean visitors.

If you wish to see country flags for all visitors, even in "Moderate" mode, the add-on must check every new visitor via the API at least once (without necessarily blocking them). Technically, the add-on is capable of this.

However, please be aware that enabling this behavior (showing flags for everyone) will increase your proxycheck.io API usage, as 1 query will be consumed for every unique visitor to your site.

We are using version 1.0.9.

Ah understand! OK.. So if a want more details about any visitor I have to change that to "first visit"? With the result, that I have to switch to a monthly payed account at proxycheck.io because of the more querries?

That would ok for me. So getting this information with your tool the only thing is to switch to first visit?

Thank you for answering!

Mike

Hello Mike,

You are absolutely correct regarding version 1.0.9; switching to "First Visit" mode would achieve this, as it checks every new IP regardless of threat level.

However, I have great news for you! Based on feedback like yours, we have implemented a specific feature for this exact requirement in our upcoming update (Version 1.0.10), which will be released very shortly.

In version 1.0.10, we have added a new dedicated option called "Check all visitors for country flag".

This is better because:

• You can keep your protection mode on "Moderate" (to prevent accidental blocking of legitimate users).
• The add-on will separately check every visitor just to get their country flag.

Regarding API Usage: You are 100% right. Enabling this new option (or using "First Visit" mode) will trigger an API query for every unique visitor once every 24 hours. Depending on your daily traffic, this will increase your query volume and may likely require a paid plan with ProxyCheck.io.

I recommend updating to v1.0.10 when it is released and simply enabling the "Check all visitors for country flag" option in the settings.

Best regards,

Thank you very much for your quick response and your quick updates! Like it very much!

Now the flags were displayed. Changed back to moderate and will see if everything works!

I'm very happy with your tool!

Hello, I don't understand why do I need this addon when I'm already using Cloudflare Free or Pro plan. Can you explain this in your free time? Thanks.

In summary: Cloudflare protects your network, but IP Threat Monitor protects your server resources and database against exhaustion and application-level attacks, ensuring a fast experience for your real users.
