IP checking service for faucet owners

[BitBustah]

Back in the day when I owned BitBlabber I used www.IPHub.info as an IP checking service. It's a free service.

It gave me very few false positives and I thought it performed better than NastyHosts. Check it out.

If you use it, be sure to read the sites rules. The owner is a cool guy, he'll answer all your questions.

No sorry I can not. You need to find a programmer.

Here's a post about IPHub.info and an example code to integrate it in your faucet script:

Here's a post about IPHub.info and an example code to integrate it in your faucet script:

http://coinadia.com/iphub-info-nastyhosts-alternative-block-proxys-vpns/

Or simply add this if your site is using php, and put it preferably into the index.php. Should work aswell.

Code: (https://docs.iphub.info/documentation/php-integration/)

 

$homepage = file_get_contents('http://iphub.info/api.php?ip='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'&showtype=4');
$vpn = json_decode($homepage, true);

if($vpn['proxy'] == '1')
{
 echo "We do not accept vpns/proxies to view our ads and claim from our site. Please contact us on X_X if you believe this was done in error. Thanks. / anything  could be here /";
} 

https://proxycheck.io/examples/

I see they went to V2 or something which means you need to edit      

Code:

     http://iphub.info/api.php?ip=                                  

with

Code:

http://legacy.iphub.info/api.php?

wow really thank you for this help and thank to bitdesire.it
now i implementet also iphub to my faucet script .
hope they have a good list of bad ips


kind regards

[BitBustah]

They have.

[RektCoins]

Also, how i can whitelist some IPs?

BTW it's working great.

The problem is that this script will also block a-ads bots so they are not able to check your code on your website so they will stop paying you.

Code:

 
$whitelist = array('17.17.0.37, '128.17.5.33');
if (!in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $whitelist)) {
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://iphub.info/api.php?ip='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'&showtype=4');

I think we should use the code on claim page only instead of full page, so the bot will find the code or set the url of ads to a blank page without anti proxy.

I'm currently using this code

Code:

  <?php
      $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
      $handle = fopen("blockedips.txt","a");
      $ch = curl_init();
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://v2.api.iphub.info/ip/'.$ip);
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('X-Key: YOUR-UNIQUE-API-KEY'));
      $result = curl_exec($ch);
      curl_close($ch);
 
      $obj = json_decode($result, true);
      if($obj['block'] == '1'){
               fwrite($handle, "". $ip . "\n");
               fclose($handle);
               header( "Location: blocked.html" ); die;
        }
?>

But i don't know how to whitelist IP's if some legit users get banned

At this moment, you open a filehandle, you check iphub.info and if an ip is blocked by iphub.info, you write this ip to your blockedips.txt file.
The only purpose for this action would be to check who couldn't visit your site due to iphub.info's service.

You can just implement my little if-clause around this block:

Code:

$whitelist = array('17.17.0.37, '128.17.5.33');
if (!in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $whitelist)) {
//your script
}

you can get the array of whitelisted ip's from a filehandle, hardcoded (like in the example) or from your database... It doesn't really matter. If you put this if-clause around your code, anybody with a whitelisted ip will just bypass your test, even if they are blocked by iphub.info.

But i don't know how to whitelist IP's if some legit users get banned 

for example if you have a whitelist ip, then:

Code:

$check = mysqli->query("SELECT ip FROM iplist WHERE ip = '$ip' ");
$checkk = $check->num_rows;
if ($checkk !== 1) { ....... your code here

check the sql syntax bcz i am not good

You should not use txt files. In the end, that file will become huge and will slow down your site...

You're welcome!
Glad to see my example code was featured on coinadia too :p

The problem is that this script will also block a-ads bots so they are not able to check your code on your website so they will stop paying you.

That's why you should check for bad IPs/proxies/TOR etc on claim or cashout and not block anyone from accessing your website straight away.

Nice to see this. I actually had been searching for service like that. I will have a look into and see how it works.

Thanks for sharing

Not sure if he is active here. Got a mail from him a few weeks ago. He's working hard for his site.
Send him a mail if you have questions, he's a friendly guy.
