Hello everyone,
We manually approve each person who registers for our forum. One of the things we check is IP address. We're interested in seeing if people are located where they say they are located. IP address isn't 100% reliable, but it works much of the time. It's been a helpful way to screen out spammers.
However, in the last few weeks, everyone who has registered is showing the same IP address: 144.208.71.33. Some of the people who are registering are clearly people we would approve and some are people/bots that we reject. The IP address also seems to be related to InMotion Hosting, which is the web hosting company that we use for our forum.
Question: is there anything I might have accidentally changed when making updates to our XF installation that might be causing this problem?
Here's an example:
