Automatic Ban Feature Issue

hnaung opened this issue a year ago · comments

Hello there,

I've encountered an issue related to the 'Automatic Ban' feature. After enabling this feature, I am experiencing the 'Authentication Failure: Your IP address is currently banned - Contact Admin' issue. It was supposed to ban the client's IP address after 5 login failures because I set the threshold to '5'. However, I'm receiving the above error message after only 2 failed attempts, and the problem seems inconsistent. It doesn't occur in all cases; some players are randomly affected. Any suggestions or solutions to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'd make sure your x-headers are set to True. Perhaps it thinks everyone is coming from the same IP. I'll double check the code though.

Thank you for your reply. After I set 'x-headers' to true, the player login keeps logging out when they move to another tab.

No idea what would cause that. Another tab should have no effect on the session unless you're in incognito mode. Maybe restart RootTheBox.
