Help with using Remote_Addr to get user's IP and to hide content on web page based on IP

Hi:

I need some help with using ‘Remote_Addr’ to hide a button on a webpage when a remote users IP address does not begin with ###. I assume that I should use the ‘Hide paragraph if formula is true’ option from ‘Text Properties’ and a formula involving ‘Remote_Addr’ and a regular expression…

THANKS fro any help!

I think you know what you want, so just you said,

you need to write down these expressions in the box 'hide paragraph… '.

r_a := Remote_Addr;

@Left(r_a;“.”) != “xxx”

and remember, if someone who use ie brower with option proxy conect to system, the field Remote_Addr gets proxy ip instead of real ip.

Also, there are a couple of proxy services (some of them free), that will allow you to browse a site through there servers. For the same reason, you will not be able to catch the true remote address then, so this is really no security feature.
