AbuseIPDB v3.0.4 is now available for download: https://github.com/CcMarc/AbuseIPDB/...PDB_v3.0.4.zip
🛡️ Major Release – AbuseIPDB v4.0.0
This version introduces advanced flood detection and blocking, giving you full control over how your site handles aggressive traffic patterns.
🚨 What’s New:
Flood Blocking by IP Range
You can now automatically block 2-octet (e.g., 192.168.*) or 3-octet (e.g., 192.168.1.*) IP ranges.
Example: If 192.168.x.x exceeds the request limit (default 25 hits in 30 minutes), the entire 2-octet range will be blocked. If 30 minutes pass with no further hits, the block resets.
Country & Foreign Blocking
Works the same way — if traffic from a country exceeds the flood threshold, the country is temporarily blocked.
You can choose to allow low-score IPs through by setting a minimum AbuseIPDB score (or set it to 0 to block all traffic from that country).
Manual country blocking is also supported.
High Score Caching
New AbuseIPDB high-score cache prevents repeated API calls. If an IP already scored above the block threshold, it won’t be rechecked for X days (default: 7).
New Visual Shields in Who’s Online
Clearly see why an IP is being blocked:
🔴 Red – Score-blocked by AbuseIPDB
🟣 Purple – Manually blacklisted
🔵 Blue – Manually country-blocked
🟠 Orange – Flood-blocked (range, country, or foreign)
Personal Recommendation:
For daily use, I recommend enabling only the 2-octet, 3-octet, and foreign flood protection.
Use country-based blocking only during an active attack — because it will also block IPs from your default country.
That’s why foreign blocking is preferred for general use — it works the same way but will never block your default country.
Enjoy!

Can't access the admin settings with the mod disabled, but the database still shows 3.0.4 version and 27 for total settings.
Put back your old files. Sounds like you did not uninstall it first. This was not upgrade you have to uninstall first then do a fresh install as noted.Quote:

Reinstalled using Plugin Manager and all is fine. Got the 47 and the Enable High Score...
You can upload the files from 3.0.4 into 4.0.0 that should allow you to login and uninstall it.Quote:

or just
zc_plugins\AbuseIPDB\v3.0.4\catalog\includes\classes\observers\abuseipdb_observe r.php
into
zc_plugins\AbuseIPDB\v4.0.0\catalog\includes\classes\observers\abuseipdb_observe r.php
that should let you back into admin.
Ok great glad it is working!Quote:

⚡ Important: Be sure to screen-capture your existing settings before uninstalling AbuseIPDB v3.0.4 or lower to preserve your configuration.
Please review your README.md and identify the steps from an encapsulated plugin to a newer plugin. Otherwise, others will lose their API data as we did.
I would note that, normally, a plugin notifies the owner of an update, the update is done, and the option to clean old files follows the upgrade. https://docs.zen-cart.com/dev/plugin...ins/upgrading/
