bdistler Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 cPanel shows [ Last Login ] as IP [ 65.19.143.5 ] ( which is a Helio Host IP ) why is this a issue? - when I log into cPanel - if the [ Last Login ] is not my IP then someone else has been into my account (that is how it should work) can cPanel show the 'real' log in from IP address - as it does on my other hosts ?

wolstech Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 That IP is the Cody server. It's nothing to be concerned about, just means you signed in through our website versus directly through https://tommy.heliohost.org:2083. It happens because our website signs into your account on your behalf in order for the "HelioHost tools" page to work. If you want the reported IP to be accurate, do not sign in through our website.

I can NOT sign in on your "website" - it dose not like my password the only URL that I use to log in to cPanel is [ https://tommy.heliohost.org:2083/ ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the reported IP to be accurate, do not sign in through our website.I do not use your Website to sign into cPanel AND getting the 'real' [ Last Login ] IP address is the issue ### Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 That's weird. I can make mine show a wrong IP by using the website, but I've never noticed it otherwise. Krydos may have something else running that triggers it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Who knows? cPanel is weird. If you log in at https://tommy.heliohost.org:2083/ it doesn't update the last login ip file at all. If you log in at https://www.heliohost.org/login/ it updates the file twice. Once with Cody's IP, and then once with your home IP, and then cPanel shows the second to the last IP in the log file. So if you always log in from our website it will always show the same Cody IP. Here's your cPanel last login history107.2.44.112 # 2017-01-03 15:40:18 -0800 65.19.143.5 # 2017-01-25 10:21:44 -0800 107.2.44.112 # 2017-01-25 10:22:28 -0800 65.19.143.5 # 2017-01-25 10:24:56 -0800 107.2.44.112 # 2017-01-25 10:25:25 -0800 Ah, after fiddling with it a bit more it seems like it only adds a line if you log in from an IP address different from the last line, and then the last login IP displayed in cPanel shows whatever the second to last line is. I fiddled with it a little bit more, and now Cody's IP shouldn't show up anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolstech Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 The last login date that matters is in a different system and is showing as having logged in today. Not sure why there'd be no log entries for that week and a half, but who knows. cPanel is a really weird program... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 it only adds a line if you log in from an IP address different from the last lineWhat I meant by this is it checks your current login IP, and if it is the same as the last login IP in the log it doesn't write a new entry. It also doesn't update the timestamp. So the timestamps are only going to change on the last line if you login from a different IP otherwise the last entry stays the same. Also thanks for pointing this out. I'm sure there are or will be other people who worry about someone gaining access to their account due to cPanel showing an unknown last login IP.
