Hi team,

It would be nice if we could whitelist some of our larger customers. With the IP rate limits that we have setup, some folks are getting blocked out of the forums. I really don’t want to raise the limits for obvious reasons.

Are the customers logging into the site from just a few IP addresses? If so, adding the IP addresses to your site’s Screened IPs list (Admin / Logs / Screened IPs) and selecting “Allow” for the IP addresses should solve the problem.

If the customers are coming from a lot of different IP addresses this probably wouldn’t be an effective solution though.

That sounds like a workable solution. Let me look into this more.

Thanks,
