How is your list any diffrent to this? https://www.winmxgroup.com/index.php?id=peer-block that has been running for months?
Where is your server based? i know ure a US citizen is your server US based?
Do you keep logs? even apache?
You code states you "Send the roomname to the Analytics API". What are you analyzing?
Why do you need my name room i joined and IP? Really concerns me this, especially when winmxunlimited is josh!!! Why do you need all that information, id certainly never join a room with it running? Its a huge invasion of privacy.
This shouldnt be supported here, anyone using a proxy for legitimate purposes can be traced by you, this is a massive invasion of privacy, i will speak to a few others but i dont think we should be supporting this at all.
Yes but i use a proxy every day, so every-time my proxy could be detected in one of these scripts you could potential see every room i try and join with this, i dont use a proxy to spam rooms, and i use my name. Where i can i opt out to this invasion of my privacy at least as part of UK Law? Never mind many other legitimate users of proxy services. If lots of people are using it then thats great, thats the great choice in life, So who else has access to this long list of IP services i use with my name on it? you have got to see here why im mega pissed at what ive seen. Considering the whole point of me using proxys is to protect my online privacy. And you are breaching it left right and center, and your not someone like Josh id like to be able to trace me online. Im sure if people where aware of that potential they wouldnt use it at all!
You record my name and ip, also the room i join. this is personally identifiable information. used with other evidence notably my ip is a massive map. Your spouting organisational law, and missing the storing of personally identifiable information. Please, let me correct you on your understanding of the law.
just going back a few paragraphswhat is the data retention policy pri?what do you keep and how long for?
I think the point of concern here is that anyone running this tool will be sending the IP's of everyone entering those rooms to the winmxunlimited server even before Pri gets to do anything with the data as he only gets the IP's of those checked that turn out to be proxies. Winmxunlimited is US based and thus there exists a well known weakness with users privacy.I am split on this one really as I fully understand the wish of all to enjoy a chat free of harassment and mindless character vomiting from bots but the potential cost of this is to deliver up all the chat user base IP's.
Also there has been voiced some suspicion that this is a solution created to fill an artificial problem, as prior to a few days ago there was no problem with such attacks and now we have a solution seeming to appear overnight almost at the same time as the problems start up.
item 4, how long is the retention on IP's on the whitelist?are the ip's on item 5 logged? if so what is the retention ( i think you covered this but i'd rather ask ask again in case it was something else i was thinking of)item 6 and 7, are these the ip's that are blacklisted, in the first post your script automatically blocks ip's being banned in other rooms. how long are these kept?ha ha spelling, i think typonese is the default language of winmx.
I have not seen anyone voicing their opinion that this solution was created to fill an artificial problem, it was created in 2009 when all the rooms on the network were being systematically spammed and I have updated the software since then each time some nutjob starts spamming again. Even your own site suggested people use it in this guide: https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/chatroom_pest_prevention.html
