Backoffice "Current online visitors" stats often shows visitors with IP 0.0.0.0, Why???


Recommended Posts

Hello people, 

I noticed in the last few months that when viewing my Backoffice "Current online visitors" stats, I often (daily) see visitors with IP address 0.0.0.0, why is this? Is my site being hacked?

Should I block ip address 0.0.0.0 on my server side?

Also, I have Matomo installed on my shop and those visitors are not/can't be tracked...

Any light on this would be appreciated.

Cheers,

The connections table can only store IPv4 ip addresses. All IPv6 addresses are stored as 0.0.0.0. Prestashop has the same problem. It looks like both assume that you are using Google Analytics or a similar third party service, so this piece of pre-historic code is left unchanged.

Ok, so will Thirtybees fix this in a future release "having the connections table support for both IPv4 and  IPv6 ip addresses" ?
