Hey rosc i found a bit of an error in the AntiOnline IP locator. After loading it into my eggdrop (which is located at the JE DataCenter in New Jersey) the bot seemed to return this as the output:

11:11:25am [@DoctaButtluv] .iplocate 64.18.149.167
11:11:27am [+Kylee] AntiOnline IP Locator: packeting.your.c0nnecti0n.net (64.18.149.167) is located in Dallas, Texas, United States.

Any idea why it would return a location thousands of miles away from where the Datacenter is actually located?

That is not a script error or problem. Read about ip-geolocation.. There is no way to have 100% accuracy, and typically the IP is related to where the owner of that IP has registered their headquarters.

I got this error first time i executed the command from my bot using the ipcheck script postede by Alchera

[22:57:47] <MMradio17> Compliance (Domin) --> Target Acquired (72.20.29.30) --> Country (You are abusing DNSstuff.com.) City (Contact DNSstuff.com for assistance.)

Any way to fix that other than to put it on another ip ???

Change the client identification crap from the script:
puts $id "User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

The script I posted the link to is being re-written (non web based). A quick fix is to remove or comment out the close line in the existing script.

Wouldn't that leave open sockets?

It does. It also seems to work. I no longer use any script for IP checking but a user did that "fix" and it's still working.

I'm waiting on the re-written script.

The fix posted by rosc2112 for ipcheck.tcl is by far better than leaving sockets open and works.

If you think that dnsstuff.com has blacklisted your ip, you can check on their website. You might also send them an email to ask specifically, and ask for permission to use the script on their site. Let them know that the script is NOT an automated process, that someone DOES have to actually type the command to grab the data. Their TOS are very relaxed and they do not prohibit the use of scripts per-se, only the use of *automated* processes:
