Support » Plugin: Loggedin - Limit Active Logins » Limit the number of IPs per user

  • Hi there,

    First of all, well done for producing a great plugin. It seems to be working perfectly (I tested “Allow” as this seems to be the least obstrusive way to limit access to one simultaneous session per user).

    I have a request though to extend the functionality to limit the number of IPs the user uses (not nevessarily simultaneously) to prevent account sharing.

    Currently, we use another plugin to protect user accounts and it not only prevents simultaneous login, but it also prevents more than x IP addresses used over y days.

    We have set it up so that simultaneous login is not possible, and using more than 5 IP addresses over 30 days results in a block.

    That way, people can use a few devices non simultaneously (say a home PC and a work PC) but if they can’t share their account with others accessing the course at different times, or they will get locked out too.

    I’d love to replace this other plugin with Loggedin but until/unless I find a way to implement this protection as well I have to keep the other plugin.

    Thanks for your thoughts and keep up the good work!

    Hi Manni02, May I know what plugin are you using? I’m looking for the same thing. Can you share with me?

    Hi @joelcj91 , thanks for creating such a good plugin. The current version is working fine while testing on different browsers, but it doesn’t work if opening under the same browser but more than 2 tabs. Please consider to block that too.
