Sorry to bump this ... but some of my users are having issues with this invalid IP thing ... and I have the bypass variable in rnconfig.php set to TRUE.

It seems the common factor in this issue are that they all access the site through a google or other search engine link.

Any ideas? thoughts? fixes?

Is it possible it's using a cached page and so it holds the old settings?

is there a security issue setting it to true?

NukeSentinel will continue to protect against attacks. The invalid IP check is an extra measure of security that isn't necessary for most sites. It doesn't check against specific attacks - merely the possibility that someone using an invalid IP is likely to being doing so for a malicious reason (think "guilty until proven innocent).

I think the default should be set to TRUE because the associated problems cause too many support issues and most people end up changing it.

I beleive that answers it Wink
