Elmoren Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 My ISP drops my connection, at around 20:30, roughly once a week. Each time I need to enter a security code from my email because, naturally, my IP address has changed. Recently it seems that my ISP has been dropping my connection during the day every single day. For the last 4 or 5 days I have had to go through the security code process EVERY SINGLE DAY. This is, frankly, bloody irritating. Here is an alternative suggestion. I have free dynamic DNS services. I have a domain name. Why don't you allow players to register a domain name for their account, and when they try to log in, do a DNS lookup on that domain name and check it matches the IP address they are logging in from. This way they will never ever have to do the security code thing ever again. Given that the vast majority of the population in this country, and probably the US and Europe as well, don't have static IP addresses allocated by their ISP, this whole "IP address changing all the time" problem must be common to a lot of people. And with free dynamic DNS services widely available, this a good solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TofuChicken Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 An daily IP change is just outdated, contact ur ISP with this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmoren Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 How would a hacker exploit this? They would need to steal your DNS account to do so. What do you mean by "to blood"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
