  • Explain the use of the   Banned - "Orange button" page

    The Banned - "Orange button" page. This is your RCP abusers monitor page. This page gives you a quick view on all banned IP addresses and the type of abuse that RCP has stopped. Its wise to analyze this list once in a while so that you know what abusers are trying to reach or attack.

    This page also allows you to manually ban one or un-ban one or all IP addresses. The list only contains IP addresses that RCP has banned for making illegal actions or any other kind of abuse.

    Each listing is showing a icon that indicates the type of ban. Then you see the banned IP address (click the IP for more details on the user behind the IP) and more details and the ban date and a ratio button wish you can select to un-ban a IP. The top of the orange page is showing your RCP ban settings.

  • How to un-ban yourself?

    Thanks for testing. Yes RCP really works. So if you fool around and test things or RCP has not correctly been installed then is it possible that you ban yourself. Now this really ain't no big problem as you easily can un-ban yourself. Most of the time you have no access to the RCP admin area.

    Here is what to do: connect with a ftp client to your website. Download the .htaccess file open the .htaccess file in a plain text editor. And remove the complete line that contains your IP address. Then re-upload the .htaccess file. Your un-banned and RCP is activated again. You can also login to your RCP admin area from a different computer with a different IP to un-ban yourself.

    IMPORTANT as site owner or webmaster you should add your own IP to the never ban list. So RCP knows what ever you do or try its Ok!
