WP IP address plugin

by rsummz
4 replies
I am looking for a WP plug in that will allow me to track by ip address the number of times that a member is logging into my site. I need to make sure that my members don't give their username and password out to numerous people. Ideally the plug in would allow each user to log into the site with up to 3 different ip addresses every 24 hours. Is there a WP plug in that is already out there that can do that, or something similar to it?

    Let me see.... HMMMM....

    HOTEL=1
    HOTEL failure, switched to EVDO=2
    AIRPORT=3
    AIRPORT failure, switched to EVDO AGAIN, different area=4
    Come home work on comcast=5
    find a problem, too slow, or using other system, switched to EVDO, different area=6

    Likelyhood of it happening for ME? OK, maybe it only happens once every few weeks but more than 3? Sometimes it happens EVERY DAY!

    And don't even start talking about DHCP leases. Sometimes I could have a dozen of those in one day! Maybe the EVDO goes down 3 times. There is a HIGH likelyhood each reconnect means a NEW IP!

    What if they are on dialup and get disconnected a couple times? Maybe a faily member turns off the modem a few times.

    Just a bit of food for thought.

      That all makes a lot of sense for some of the stuff that we will have on the site. Let's say that we give them up to 10 different ip addresses every 24 hours. Do you know of any WP plugin that will do that?

    Wishlist wordpress plugin does a great job on that one. Just google wishlist wordpress plugin and you will find it.

      I'm looking for something a lot less robust than wishlist. Any ideas on a plugin that just tracks and limits ip addresses?
