    It is good plugging, but free version alters the IP address to show the servers IP address instead of visitor and that is a security risk!

    as far as pro version, if you put it out for sale would be ok, but you put it for lease ($55 per year) and there is no buy out.

    I bought a expensive template and then installed this plugin (which was coming with template) after installation I realized what is going on!

    your plugin alters the IP address on purpose! no one should see the IP address your server, except your clients (after purchase and registration) that’s why all the webhosting websites have SSL and max security.

    hi Anthony,

    You are mislead.

    Firstly, the way the plugin works is that it fetches the WHMCS pages via WordPress (to avoid having to use a frame) so therefore the WHMCS is actually being browsed from your server, hence the server IP being shown on the customer portal.

    Secondly, the IP address of your server is no secret – anyone can simply do a dns lookup on your domain – using any one of the many thousands of tools, some of which are standard network tools installed on your computer.

    SSL does not hide your IP, SSL creates an encrypted connection between your browser and the hosting server, so that people are unable to “sniff” the traffic between the two points.

    The premium plugin has a patch to fix this IP to be shown as the user, this feature required additional development hence it being part of the premium version, our free version is as much as we can give away without any support.
