Re: How to restrict one user from one IP

I want to allow only one account currently logged in from one IP.
Sometimes user open two or three accounts from one IP.
Is there any way to stop that?

I m thinking of getting IP and storing it in session variables and
making a check but not clear about the whole process.

You can't do it reliably.

Many medium and large companies have a proxy that all computers on their network use, so externally, all of their computers will have the same IP address.

But worse, many large companies and ISP's (such as AOL) use multiple proxies, and a request can come from any of the proxies. That means every request may come from a different IP address.

And even if neither of the above is true, dynamic addressing means a user can get a different IP address when his current lease expires.
