=== IP Logger === Contributors: M. Retzlaff Donate link: http://www.mretzlaff.com/wordpress-plugins/donate/ Tags: plugin, log, protection, IP, hostnames, analyze, traffic, charts, OpenStreetMap, Google Analytics, admin Requires at least: 2.0.2 Tested up to: 2.8.6 Stable tag: 2.8 Logs the IP of all your blog visitors & enables you to protect your WordPress Website against unwantet visitors (IP Logger Block option) == Description == You can easily get an overview of all your website visitors. Every click on your sites will be stored with soma details into your own database. None of your data (traffic, number of visitors, IPs, etc.) will be stored outside your database. This can be important for your security and to keep 'spying' services like Google Analytics outside. Some simple charts (pls see screenshots) will help you to get a quick overview about the most important informations about your website visitors. A charts with traffic informations (allowed and blocked accesses), a chart with an overview about the home-countries of your visitors and (last but not least!) a Map (based on OpenStreetMap) where you can find all your visitors by a green (= allowed) and red (= denied/blocked access to your website) dot. The blocking Filter is optional and has to be enabled within the IP Logger Admin Settings Area. Some new features are already in development and will be delivered within the next version.

Administration Backend (Plugin Settings) == Frequently Asked Questions == = Why are some of the bars in the chart red ? = They show you the weekend (Sat and Sun). Mon - Fri are shown in blue. = Why are where default filters within the block filter ? = Those entries are well known website crawler and spiders. Those programs scans your whole website and store details, texts and other informations on other servers and sometimes websites. = How can i check the IP Logger blocking option ? = 1. Get your current IP ("http://www.yourhelpcenter.de/2009/12/meine-aktuelle-ip-adresse/") 2. Copy and paste that IP Address (eg. 123.123.123.123) to the "new filter textfield" and press "Save filter" 3. Try to enter your website. You'll get a message like "Sorry, but the access to this website has been blocked" 4. Pls don't forget to remove the IP Filter ! = In an old version there are no symbols, charts etc. = Yes. It was a problem with the automatic WP Plugin archive builder and my development environment.
