Multi accesses from the same IP

Dear Pedro,

 

Hello, thank you for the message. From my experience I have seen that some IP's addresses can be duplicated or created. PrestaShop has very good security. You should not be too worried, however, you can download some modules that can block IP addresses. I hope this helps! Thank you for choosing PrestaShop!

One of the IPs was this one: 182.118.22.202

 

I searched on Google and found: it is from China and is blacklisted...

See here:

It doesnt look good, isnt?

 

You'll just have to block the IP. As long as your server is connected to the internet, malicious bots will crawl your site(s) looking for security holes to exploit - it's inevitable. The only thing you can do is to block those IP-addresses or use for example mod_security for Apache to block certain requests based on predefined rules.

Hello,

Yes, the GeoLocation is a good feature. Sometimes you will encounter an IP address in the middle of the ocean. This is obviously not real.

As Bazze said

I think that is sound advice.

Thank you all for your repplies. I am cooler now!

Anyway I have a SSL certificate so it might help the site security..?

 

What the SSL certificate does is to assure the connecting users that you are who you say you are and when visiting your site using HTTPS the connection will be encrypted.

Apart from SSL, you may also use SSH for your login pages and FTPS instead of FTP to prevent your login credentials from being intercepted by hackers.

 

There are now attacks known as brute force, which can break into your site by trying millions of logins and passwords. This post contains more info on the topic of site security.

 

I am convinced that it is better to use every opportunity to secure the site. I wouldn't like to find mine a mess one day, and, most likely, neither would you.

IF YOU HAVE HOSTING WITH CPANEL, YOU CAN TRY THIS MODE:

 

Cpanel login > Security > Ip deny adress > add an adress to deny > adress successfully denied.
