XF 2.2 Abnormal guest behavior

[CedricV]

Hi,

I’m seeing abnormal guest behavior on my forum. Varying around 80-100 guests, all viewing our articles.

Normally I’d be super happy with that, but it’s abnormal as we haven’t had 100 guests all viewing the articles at the same time.


The list goes on:

Am I missing something here? Bots are separated from guests, so doubt it’s bots, but I can’t really explain too.

Here's info from 3 of them, I did find 1 legit user on your list:

https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/142.147.107.120

https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/199.34.89.7

https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/68.234.41.46

All 3 are VPN services using the data center: sprious.com

They're likely bots scraping your forum for data.

Only known bots are separated from guests. You can click the IPs to view the entities they belong to. These seem to belong to some company which offers web scraping as a service.

I had the known bots add on installed, therefore the confusion.

Much thanks fellas, appreciate it.
