    I have a htaccess with a deny for all this IP


    I exclude all the Ip in the forum in ACP sécurity


    and now if i look in member i have this


    41 guess with the adress IP deny in htaccess and in security

    Blocking them in the ACP will prevent them from accessing anything, but they still see the site and in return yield an user session. It is highly recommended to block them using the webserver, which will also prevent the request from hitting PHP at all.


    You should search for apache block ip range or apache block ip to find proper instructions, there are countless of examples out there :)

    thanks

    SQL
    UPDATE wcf1_option SET optionValue = '1' WHERE optionName = 'users_online_record';

    Afterwards you'll need to save the options in the ACP, it will refresh the options cache and show the new value. You can alter the 1 to read any other value that you feel looks reasonable.
