Hello, i have been experiencing this problem lately, and i tried all methods to stop it, however, it did not work at all, any help?

Session IP/browser/X_FORWARDED_FOR check failed
»User IP “197.31.116” checked against session IP “197.31.207”, user browser string “mozilla/5.0 (windows nt 6.1; rv:24.0) gecko/20140315 firefox/24.0 palemoon/24.4.1” checked against session browser string “mozilla/5.0 (windows nt 6.1; rv:24.0) gecko/20140315 firefox/24.0 palemoon/24.4.1” and user X_FORWARDED_FOR string “” checked against session X_FORWARDED_FOR string “”.

The issue looks to be that a users IP changed while they were visiting your site. It is down to this setting "Session IP validation". It is checking the first 3 parts of the IP address and it has changed since the session was started from

197.31.116
to
197.31.207

It is nothing to worry about really.

But this keeps annoying me while using ACP

Change it to only check the first 2 parts of an ip then although that is less secure but it will stop most if not all these errors. I fail to see how they are that annoying though as they are not in your face when you access the acp.

How to change that?

ACP ===> Security settings ====> Set "Session IP validation" to A.B.
