hey there i was wondering how do i get to be able to I.P ban someone because they always can recreate an account from the same email or device if they get deleted so i wanted to know how might i ban their I.P so they cant return
A. Instead of deleting the account, just disable it, that way they can’t create another on the same email
B. An IP ban may be problematic, as changing one’s IP is as easy as changing networks, be it physically or via VPN - And many of those networks consist of many different users, not one person
Is someone spamming your site?

I just dealt with one issue. How do I disable it if they have multiple emails to use? The admins can’t edit the IP or see where it is; they only have a button that says “ban IP” or “allow IP,” and that’s it.

Hi, chess_master !!
It seems possible to identify IP addresses using third-party APIs in Velo code, but I believe relying solely on IP addresses to block users continuously is challenging. The reason is that unless it’s a static IP address, an individual’s IP address tends to change frequently. If you’re serious about implementing this, it might be necessary to combine information such as User-Agent Client Hints. You could also consider leveraging wix-storage. However, it’s important not to forget the concept of privacy. Alternatively, it might be worth exploring Wix Apps that offer IP blocking features. 
so how wouldi add this
ip blocker
Because i need to stop it
and it happend twice already i cant risk another one happening i tried to pause their email and they keep coming back with other emails
@here I need help guys
Hi, @chess_master !!
What exactly are you struggling with? What kind of emails are you receiving? From my initial understanding, I imagined a situation where the same person (or something like a bot) keeps registering on your site with different email addresses, and no matter how many times you block them, they keep coming back. Is that correct? If so, have you implemented something like reCAPTCHA or hCAPTCHA for now? 
Here is the think @onemoretime i dont really know how I would do that and even if I did I doubt it would work if its a real person they can fake the hCAPTCHA or the reCAPTCHA just to get in
I personally recommend hCAPTCHA, but in any case, either hCAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA should be implemented on the registration page. These tools help distinguish between bots and humans, but they are often ineffective against individuals with malicious intent. Additionally, there have been reports of advanced AI technologies being able to bypass these systems, so they may not be foolproof. However, their implementation can significantly reduce damage from common bot attacks.
If the issue you’re facing is caused by general bots, these measures should be effective. It would also be helpful to search this forum for past discussions on similar issues. For example, searching for “IP Block” might lead you to useful information.
When seeking specific countermeasures, it’s important to provide clear and honest details to forum members. Right now, there seems to be too little information to offer appropriate advice. For instance, if you’re receiving persistent emails, sharing details such as the content of the emails, the route through which they are being sent, and the recipient email address may help others provide more accurate guidance.
If you’re not familiar with coding, don’t try to devise a perfect solution from the start. It’s better to take simple steps one at a time. Strengthening your defenses and creating an environment that makes it difficult and unprofitable for attackers is key. By combining multiple defensive measures, you can increase the effort required for intrusions and reduce the attacker’s incentives.
One immediate solution is to use IP blocking apps available in Wix. Some of these apps allow you to block access by country. If it doesn’t cause any issues for your site, blocking access from certain regions can be an effective countermeasure.
In conclusion, there is no single perfect solution, but gathering information and experimenting with different approaches is crucial. 
okay so how do I add the captcha and also I suggest a request of feature on this
