I agree with ProxyPass however I've never used StrongBox. I know that ProxyPass is solid and VERY fast with support.

One big difference is that Strongbox is constantly developed, so you get
things like Wordpress and Drupal integration with Strongbox, as well as all of the processors, big and small. You'll notice that ProxyPass hasn't updated their site in several years. On their front page they're still bragging about some big affiliate programs using ProxyPass when in fact those programs dropped ProxyPass years ago and switched to Strongbox. My impression is that their software is like their site - it was good in 2003, but hasn't seen many updates. That means no Wordpress integration, because Wordpress didn't exist the last time Proxypass had an update. No PasswordByPhone integration for the same reason. Hack tools HAVE of course evolved in the last few years, so I'd want to use protection that keeps up with the times.

You cant do better than strongbox period. The product does what it says and when you have a problem Ray is on it. Even if it is something new like wordpress or drupal I strongly recommend strongbox.
Plus nobody has better customer service period.

I use WP for several of my paysites and Ray was quick to make sure that SB worked flawlessly with WP.
Been using SB since the first version and service has always been top notch. I also use TB and CB from Ray and both do the job well. |

Switched from Sparta to Strongbox for our sites a few months ago and very pleased with it. The Strongbox guys made the installation pain free and the software has done it's job well.

We use both Proxypass (custom version) and Strongbox and both are great.

PrimeAuth is free when you host with ISprime. They'll even customize it, do whatever you want it to do. Simple, effective, free, set it, forget it.

We have over fifty cash programs who use ProxyPass happily at MojoHost. Rayls StrongBox and also PhantomFrog are both excellent softwares, too, with a bunch of nice features. There have been updates to PP but Terry has been as remiss as I have about updating his site. I think these are the 3 solutions which pretty much encapsulate the whole industry and none of them is a bad choice. At MojoHost we warranty PP againat defect and members area overages if in error.
Cheers, Brad

I've used StrongBox in the past, I use ProxyPass now. I see no difference between the two.

Member area URLs look different. And logging in is much more a pain in the ass on strongbox sites. I'm not saying its complicated, but why to make the 1 more click if you don't have to, I personally hate it and I'm sure members don't love it either.

We are running strongbox on ahshanae.com right now but to be honest I do not understand the system and have no idea if its doing anything or not
I will say that quite a few times it has sent me emails to let me know when something suspect is going on. I think the only reason I am shopping around for our new sites is that I do not understand the SB admin interface. I suspect it is working and doing its job as since we installed it we have seen a decrease in member area download traffic ... heres whats most important to me I want to definitely limit member downloads ... no site rips I want the system to keep track of abusive user activity so that if he downloads 2 gb one week and 1 gb the next the system knows and alerts me while stopping him at the same time What would really realy be awesome is if one of these guys could team up with a DRM provider and integrate video DRM into their system ![]() That would be almost as pimp as Princeton Cash |

Princeton Cash, contact Ray as he can help you block the site rippers or ask him about Throttlebox which limits downloads.

I know. I meant, I notice no difference in how well they work. The SB login is kind of a pain.

If I am not mistaken they all let you limit d/l per member per day in addition to # of connections.

at downloads over a week or two. We're the only ones who track any more than one day on downloads, I think. The first people to try limiting downloads did X GB per day, of course, but that didn't work all that well. Much more interesting is looking a activity over several days, so Throttlebox does that. A new member might legitimately have heavy usage on their first day, but very heavy usage EVERY day might be something you want to control. Also interesting is usage over a very short time - you might allow 500 pictures in a DAY, but 500 pictures in ten 10 minutes would be something to look at. Really, 24 hours is a really bad time period to look at, because you might be counting one evening's session, and you might be counting two, you don't know. 36 hours is much more effective, because then at least you KNOW you're dealing with their downloads from two evenings. We figured even better would be to track forever, so that's what we do with Throttlebox. The more sophisticated "linear" limits, which calculate a decaying average, aren't quite as easy to understand as "x GB per day", but it's much more effective. Throttlebox also gives you the option of a simple "x GB per day" limit if you want to keep things simple. On the DRM, too, we've been putting research into that. Like limiting bandwidth, the first few people to try it, doing it in a fairly simple way, didn't get very good results. All of the big music sites tried DRM, and all of them dropped DRM when it just didn't work very well. So we look at that and ask "how can we make DRM smarter, so it'll work a lot better?" The general idea of DRM seems like it should be good in THEORY, but in actual use it seems to frustrate paying customers more than it frustrates the bad guys. So we're working with a couple of partners to do DRM better - much better. We're also looking at some DRM alternatives to control people posting your stuff without frustrating the paying customer. Now that Throttlebox, our intelligent bandwidth limiter, and Clonebox, our enterprise grade backup spare server system, are completed, the next thing on our list is the redesign of Strongbox admin that you mentioned. We've made some small changes to make it a bit more clear. The current admin interface works very well for half the people, and less well for the other half, depending on how your brain works. Of course, as mentioned in most of those emails that Strongbox sends you when something happens, you generally don't need to do anything. Originally Strongbox didn't have any admin interface, because it doesn't need one. I just does it's job without needing your attention, but provides the admin interface so you can see what's going on if you care to look. The new interface will be "task oriented" - it will revolve around what you're trying to DO. You log in to Strongbox for a reason - to do something. We'll give you the options of what you can do and I think that will make much more sense to you. The current interface is "system oriented" - designed so you can see how Strongbox works, and that works very well for a lot of people. We would love to have your help and feedback as we design the new system. What I mean is, first we need to make a list of which things you want to do with the Strongbox admin. Then for each thing you want to do we give you a simple way to do it, and ask you to let us know if you see anything that could be more clear. As we integrate some advanced new features from our research version of Strongbox, we may hire a world reknown designer to help with the interface. We have some really sophisticated features, based on crazily complex mathematics, to add. Our challenge is to take all of the sophistication and make it appear as simple as possible, but no simpler. We'd just love for you to be involved so we can make exactly the interface you'd want. Please shoot us an email at [email protected] . We're here to meet your needs and the best way for us to do that is to work directly with you to make sure what we're doing is exactly what you need.

have the "remember my password" check box, we can sure do automatic login if you like. Of course, don't you have to click "log in" or "ok" with any system, including those that are patches on basic auth (the gray popup box)? On my browser, I always have to do that one click to log in, so it's one click with Strongbox, one click without, the same either way. I do like the automatic log in idea, though, we can do a checkbox for that - "log me in automatically next time".

Strongbox all the way! It's not just an amazing product that has kept people out of my sites that didn't belong there, but the quality of the service of installation, support and customization has been amazing from day one. Ray definitely knows his stuff, big thanks to both him and Ali for all their hard work!

Another Next Generation Protection System
I represent Phantom Frog and we track every access to
your members area by IP. Phantom Frog recently announced a new relevant feature. Webmasters can selectively allocate individual members more bandwidth without effecting the bandwidth limits of other members. Another recent Frog feature reports Bandwidth History for the previous 30 days for each member. Our Hi-Resolution Geo-IP Tracking offers the most accurate password abuse detection available anywhere. It tracks all visits to the members area of a site down to the city level. Furthermore, it takes latitudal and longitudal data into consideration. Therefore, Frog detects the fact that the same password was used in L.A. and NYC. We pinpoint the abuse instantly, allowing for the possibility of legitimate travel. That level of resolution is unique to Phantom Frog. Our system is based upon the premise of providing 24/7 uninterrupted access to the legitimate members while blocking out the leechers. This is accomplished automatically through our Automated Member Support (AMS) feature. When password abuse is detected, the password is changed. The next time the valid member tries to login, Frog uses their email address to validate their identity and issues them a new password directly via email. This strategy breaks the cycle of password abuse and frees up the webmasters to do more important work. Frog is integrated with of all the major billing companies. The user login is not altered in any way. Phantom Frog is the ONLY system to offer a FREE Trial Version which installs by adding one html tag or we can handle the installation completely for you for. The Trial demos the Hi-Res Geo-IP abuse detection feature. Please feel free to contact me or click the links below to setup a Free Trial or learn more.

I'm pondering the best way to let them change it later. Maybe you have some ideas. If they are logged in automatically, they never see the log in page, so they have no chance to say "don't log me in automatically next time". We could add a link WITHIN the members' are to allow them to do that, but I hate to require any changes in your members' area. What happens if your designer accidentally removes that link and noone realizes it for a while? Another option would be what I have on one of my computers at home - a timed automatic log in. The screen shows "automatically logging in in 5,4,3,2,1 seconds". During those five seconds you can either uncheck the automatic log in box, or click the log in button to skip the 5 second delay. Those are the first things that come to my mind. What do you think? Of course, we also need to carefully evaluate any security implications. If it were to come right down to it, I'd rather let the user click "log in" than have any significant security concerns that might be involved in an automatic log in system.
