StrongBox, ProxyPass, Phantom Frog What one to get???
 

Which one is the best? and why??
I also, need to make sure I can run third party feeds. Some of the places I buy feeds from, will not work with the current system I currently use. The system I use changes the members URL so, some third party places can't authorize wild card url's.

But lets hear the pro's and con's of all the systems......

I see someone picked up this thread yesterday, it may be of interest to you:

We can work with any third party feeds you may using.

I have plenty of third party feeds in my members are and have never ran into a problem with ProxyPass or Phantom Frog in that respect. I now use ProxyPass and I am happy with them.

I used to use Phantom Frog and they were good.... too good. I ended up getting a lot of members banned. Even though they have a feature so the member can type in correct info and get back in, alot of guys never read that they just got pissed.

I have never used strong box so no opinion there.

Hope that helps. :)

strong box. tell them big red sent ya.

I use to use Proxy Pass, was thinking of going back to them, but then see all the good stuff about Strong Box....

Strong Box all the way.

I have used many different password protection systems...

ProxyPass has a web/secret word auth system now to help add protection, it works with pretty much every plugin system. I haven't ever tested Phantom Frog.

StrongBox has worked with all but one feed provider that I have tried. The older 'referral' based plugins, besides being impossible to protect, simply need a wild card referrer added in, like %.members.paysite.com or *.members.paysite.com - If you have any problems with getting a feed to work you should email ray if the content provider isn't able to help.

We are using Strongbox, so far so good

Thanks everyone!

I vote strongbox

Last bump... Does Strong Box offer that little box with random words, for added security?

Yes, StrongBox has a security word. I have posted about strongbox here and for an example of what you can do with a login page look below.

Proxypass is the best...period, it's an apache module, it works on a server level not some crappy CGI deal, has all the fetures you ever need, can limit members based on IP's, # of logins, bandwidth used, can use it to geoip redirect, have a login screen with captcha.

IIt's one of the very few programs I've bought in the 10 years I've been a webmaster and have not regretted.

Proxy pass works great for me!

We at Mansion Productions/MPA3/MAS think all three solutions are very good. We will have an announcement about one of them shortly - so stay tuned for some MPA3 news in that regards.

:thumbsup

I haven't had any complaints about Strongbox on my paysites in the last 4 years :thumbsup

I've worked with Strongbox with several programs and it's always done its job well :thumbsup

Another option to consider is SPARTA from TMM...

You wont regret buying strongbox.

We have been very happy with it. It paid for itself in just the first month by stopping a few members who had shared passwords and ran our feed bill through the roof.

Its a great product and I love the extensive reports!

I recommend Strongbox, the best system out there with killer support. :thumbsup
