Topic: Ip banned

Hi, I'm a member of this forum at http://lnx.propolingo.com/labb/presiden … /index.php

As you may realise 99% of the forum is IP banned since a mod (or hacker or an admin) IP banned everybody, since most of the IPs are the same.

Is there anything to do, because otherwise we're screwed if the person who made the ban made it a permanent ban.

Thank you for reading!

As Ive told you there is nothing they can do....

Re: Ip banned

I think I do smile
On that site, someone banned close to all IPs (or maybe all, dunno). They wanted to know if there's any way to get around the ban.

An easy way to get around the ban: write a script that clears all bans (and why not include a script like that in the scripts folder, in case someone is stupid enough to lock you out tongue).

Another way (I think) would be to comment out check_bans(); in common.php

Re: Ip banned

You should really upgrade your forum from 1.0 RC 2. There's some serious security bugs found lately...

Btw, your forum are the new #1 on PunBBig now :)

Re: Ip banned

Oh god, yes they should :)

Re: Ip banned

well, what happened was the ip tracer thing (not sure what to call it) displays everyones ip as  192.168.117.10 (which is weird cause it is an ip behind a router) and one of our mods ip banned someone, in return banning everyone.  we did not have access to the database or the files,  so we couldnt do that. i ended up getting a proxy from over in isreal and it gave them a different ip then  192.168.117.10. im an admin there so i unbanned the ip.


i really wish we could update, but thats up to the owner of the forums, which isnt very active anymore.
