Absolutely. Open the def/banips.dat file and add your own IP address(es).

I’ve run through various performance slowdowns with this plugin in the past that all seem to depend on what host it was installed on and how that host resolves DNS lookups. The culprit (for me, at least) seems to be PHP’s ‘gethostbyaddr’ function. I’ve had to kill the host name lookup in the past for troubleshooting purposes and/or performance issues.

I’d be curious to know if either of these ideas solve the above problems:
a. Find the insert statement in iriStatAppend (line 1721) and replace the call to ‘iriDomain($ipAddress)’ with ”
b. Otherwise, find iriDomain() (line 1359) and insert a “return;” statement into the first line of the function.

If you look up gethostbyaddr on the php site you’ll find a lot of issues with this function.

I did a quickie integration with StatPress Reloaded and the freebee service from MaxMind (Geolite? I forget the exact name.) Based on my non-scientific spot checking of reverse lookups, it seems pretty dead accurate. They’re both great products and I like refreshing the main StatPress page to get a much more useful overview with city, state and country.

Additionally, I also modified a few SPR lines to show IP-to-hostname lookup (slow!) and logged in username, if applicable, on the main SPR page.
