Elk-GeoIP Release 1.2 (the new one) #1

Hi spuds,

I wanted to thank you for making the Elk-GeoIP addon. I needed a country block script and this is why I use ElkArte now. Unfortunately, I have encountered a problem...

The script blocks registration just fine, but if a user, let's say, creates an account with a proxy/vpn/sock (therefore with another IP location) and he can than log in with that created account with his real (banned) IP.

What I'm trying to say is that you should apply the script to also function for the Log in area, not only the Register one.

Also, this is just extra. Would it be possible to to block TOR users form accessing the site, or at least applying the same ban script to them.

Thanks again, Let me know if you can make any changes.

It should not be to difficult to add that block to the login area as well, I'll take a look.

I have a TOR node block addon somewhere around as well that I used to use .. generally, not always of course, the TOR nodes get blocked with the country ban as the nodes tend to be from the same countries that you block.
