Link IP addresses in File Downloads log to American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) #6135

Closed arraypress closed 7 years ago

arraypress commented 7 years ago

This is arguably the best "lookup" tool for IP addresses and thus it would be useful to have the IP addresses in the "File Downloads" log clickable to this resource. This would make the log more useful and informative for support purposes.

I will submit PR for this.

Submitted PR here: #6136

I have to disagree with the place this links to. While it's certainly a much more official source, the number one reason that I look up IP addresses (and I'm pretty confident this is the same for most users) is to see where the user is from for fraud detection purposes. There really isn't much you can actually learn/use the ARIN presented data for.

I think the IP Address in payment records and in the file downloads table really should link to https://www.iplocation.net/?query={IP} or something similar.

Any thoughts @sunnyratilal

I agree with @chriscct7 - the main reason would be to see the location of the user.

I think ipinfo.io would be better - it's what we use in EDD Fraud Monitor I believe.

arraypress commented 7 years ago

I have updated the PR to point to ipinfo.io.

I really like this and am happy with merging it.
