iThemes IP Tracker (Has Bugs)

    (1) Your IP tracker website (iptrackeronline.com) has plenty of bugs. For example, your IP tracker displays country flags that do not correspond to the origin IP address.

    Click here: https://prntscr.com/ushmg1 and here: https://prntscr.com/ushkot

    Also, the mapper does not work in many cases (i.e., map section is blank).

    (2) Based on the above, why are you asking us to pay for extended IP tracking services when the baseline service does not work well? There are many popular, robust, and value-adding IP tracking websites that accomplish the same (plus more) for free.

    Here’s a good one (IPV4 and IPV6 friendly): https://www.whatismyipaddress.com

    Would be great if you can fix this. Solution is easy to implement (just change the referral link).

    Looking forward to your fix. Thank you.

    Here’s another good example …

    Click here: https://prntscr.com/utgf1n (wrong flag, no map)

    This needs to be fixed ASAP. Solution provided above.

    One last thing .. when we turn off ad blockers, your website if full of ads, junk, etc. (potential security risks for laptops, PCs, etc.) Gotta fix this too.

    Thank you!

    Hi @jetxpert,

    I’m sorry you’re experiencing those issues. We’re looking into the problem.

    In the meantime, you can use the itsec_ip_details_link filter to customize the link used by iThemes Security.

    add_filter( 'itsec_ip_details_link', function ( $link, $ip ) {
	return 'https://yourprovider.com/?ip=' . urlencode( $ip );
}, 10, 2 );

    Hi @timothyblynjacobs,

    Thank you!

    For reference only … here’s another classic example. The offending IP (35.204.232.175) is located in the Netherlands, not the USA.

    Looking forward to your fix.

    Dear Community:

    The following, modified snippet worked well for us: 

    add_filter( 'itsec_ip_details_link', function ( $link, $ip ) {
	return 'https://whatismyipaddress.com/' . urlencode( $ip );
}, 10, 2 );

    Note: Please use above snippet in conjunction with a reputable ad-blocker. We use AdGuard Adblocker and uBlock Origin (browser add-ons). If you don’t, IP tracking sites will display a massive amount of ads.

    To use the above snippet, download and activate the plugin, Code Snippets. Enter above snippet and use the settings: Only Run in Administration Area, Priority 2. Click here for our set-up.

    Cheers!

    Final Comment (Update):

    The following snippet worked even better (cleaner IP results):

    add_filter( 'itsec_ip_details_link', function ( $link, $ip ) {
	return 'https://ipinfo.io/' . urlencode( $ip );
}, 10, 2 );

    Same note (see above) applies. Issue closed.

    Cheers!
