How to Detect multiple pc's under one ip

Post by developer »

Hello
Some players are playing by different usernames with one pc and some others are different players at a home with seperate pc's and a shared ip address.
I need to detect if a user is playing with (one pc and multiple browsers) or (multiple pc's) in home.
I was hopeful to use PC id's returned by ConnectionsGet command to handle this job but i saw that the application assigned different PC id's to one laptop when i connected with two different browsers.
My website is php based ,what is the solution to detect users playing with one PC?
Thankyou
John

Since browser-executed Javascript doesn't allow direct hardware access, the PC ID is just a random numbered saved in the browser's local storage. Which is easily defeated by running in incognito mode or with different browsers. Going by IP address is the better filter, but that will exclude the possibility of multiple players from one house, etc. Alternatively, you could use a service like onverify.com to text pin codes and ensure there is only one phone number per account.
