Hello there. I'm considering integrating your asset for bug reporting, but I'm almost sure the haters I already have will use it to send me "personal messages" and basically flood the Trello boaRd with trash.

So, I thought a good way to mitigate this would be using IP filtering to prevent reports even being sent if you're on my IP blacklist.

Do you think it would be possible for EF to get the public IP without me resorting to an external method?

My preferred way of doing this would be letting the user fill the form and send it as normal, but secretly not sending anything at the end.

Thanks!

EF doesn't have anything to do with the user's IP address but I think it would be possible to check the public IP address via a web request (see this thread). It would take a little bit of hacking but it would be totally possible to not actually send the report if the IP is on your blacklist. The source is included with the asset so you shouldn't have any problem modifying it to your needs.

Exactly the thread I saw this morning, haha! Okay, will do it that way. Thanks!
