Request to Add IP Logging and Connection Security Logs

[mizoil]

Hi! I have a great idea to improve the system’s security, and I would like to request your help in implementing it.

The idea is to log the IP addresses of users when they connect to the service. This is important because sometimes an IP address might disappear or change, particularly when a user disconnects from a VPN. I want to ensure that all connections are accurately recorded in the logs, preventing anyone from using a different IP address or hiding their activity.

The system should log the IP address along with the exact time, date, and year of the connection. These logs should be updated every 30 days or after 12 months. Additionally, it should be possible to manually delete logs or clear logs for specific users when needed. This will greatly enhance security and provide better control.

Hi! Thanks for bringing this up! I think this is possible, what’s happening is WGDashboard will refresh peer’s status every 10 seconds in the background. What we can do is record whenever a peer went from disconnected to connected. Is that what you’re looking for? Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
