Hi, how to prevent the same IP to enter more than 2 or 3 times to my game (web-based)?

The thing is, if a player can enter "n" times repeatedly to a game(web-based), and get a nickname, he or she can take all CCU, and block the game.

  • Hi,

    this is something you can do in various ways:

    - each client could store their ip, and the master client could warn clients with similar IP that only one is allowed, or take more abrupt actions and remove redundant users from the room.

    - we have plugins on enterprise level plans where you can act on connections and all actions right within the server and thus catching early this kind of behavior and prevent connections and provide better matchmaking. https://www.photonengine.com/en/PUN/pricing
