Title: Posts keep coming up with the wrong IP address
Post by: urbanracer34 on April 05, 2026, 12:30:06 PM

Over the last few posts I've made, I have discovered that the IP address logged in my posts are very incorrect. I did some analysis and the IP is not mine at all.

I thought someone should know.

I know about it. It is because the Forum is now behind a Firewall and everyone gets a Cloudproxy Ip address it is the only way I can keep 1000's of AI bots off the forum and from causeing problems with the Forum it also protects you as no one can look you up. As long as your IP looks like below your just fine. Hope you understand it was something that was needed to keep this Forum running my other step was to upgrade our hosting package and it would have more then doubled the cost of the hosting package this forum runs on. On Most Online:2987 - March 08, 2026, 10:12:38 This was over 2900 bots and it put the forum at max and was causeing people to not beable to get on to the forum as the page wouldn't load. I hope your ok with this explantation.

Thanks
Glen
