■ 🕑 1. Giko Firewall blacklist discussion │ I use shared ipv4, assigned by ISP & have no control of it. It does being shared across many hundreds of other ISP customers. I don't know how this work, maybe even NAT. │ Since free ipv4 addresses ended many years ago, and ipv6 is not implemented/given here. │ I don't have money to buy clean private ip or vpn. │ │ Unban my ip *.*.*.50 I don't have other ip & can't cchange it, │ sadly I can't join your game server play.gokipoi.com │ │ あなたのIPは拒否されました。TorやVPNを使わないでください。 │ Your IP was rejected. Please do not use Tor or VPNs. │ https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/*.*.*.50 │ │ What's the logic of this? │ Whole world is on Tor, NordVPN, you freely discussed their usage inside gikopoi chat room. │ I'm not using them, but it should be legal to use them. Every 3rd youtuber is promoting VPN. │ In many countries (china, russia, venezuela, cuba, iran, syria, libiya, africa ... etc ) it is impossible to browse internet without vpn. Banning Tor in anonymous imageboard game? Astonishing non-sence level of hypocrisy. │ │ Those sort of ip bans, making the web worse & gatekept, same stuff CF, js hCaptcha, or Anubis does does but with exception without js. │ │ Are you afraid of bots? But you do have idle bots in giko. │ I neven used a bot, neither spam. │ │ Quickfix: whitelist subnets. But I don't know subnets ranges of my isp. │ │ fix: pohon nonjs captcha should work fine for gikopoi. │ or you could come up & invent another new type of nonjs captcha. │ some folks made anime or math captcha. │ optional simple account creation (without email) is fine too, since it is sort of variation of captcha. │ │ Never ban IPv4, today they are all shared (or will be eventially soon), and behind 1 ip there could be thousands of users. │ │ └─■ 🕑 2. I can consider disabling the firewall again but will re-activate it the moment abuse is detected and becomes a frustration.
Here's the thing -- I'm not a JS coder. The code, as I've received it, kind of takes an all or nothing approach to the firewall. I'm also incredibly lazy and don't want to manage my own firewall list of bans.
If you know how to modify the code to whitelist subnets, feel free to shoot me a tip via https://4x13.net/me -- otherwise, I'm going for an all-or-nothing approach. There are inbuilt user-based moderation tools so that does reduce moderation effort on my end...
> Banning Tor in anonymous imageboard game? Astonishing non-sence > level of hypocrisy That is kind of a dumb argument tho, nearly all imageboards ban tor use.
