    _ForgeUser6951820 created this issue Oct 17, 2011

    What steps will reproduce the problem?
    1. Ban U1 on a shared IP
    2. Unban U2 after they seem to be banned for unknown reasons
    3. U1 tries to join again, causing U2 to be banned again

    What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
    It seems to me we've found a bug in that easyban will automatically ban all IPs used by U1, meaning U2's is also banned. When we then unban U2, even though it has no bans on record, it checks and deletes any IPs associated with U2 from the banlist which is fine, until U1 tries to join again as it then bans that IP once again.

    What version of the product are you using?
    v1.5 (due to lack of permissions support, I am unable to upgrade)

    Thats not a bug in the strongest definition. It's a drawback of the feature that all IPs of a player are banned.

    A workaround would be to ban the IP with the subnet ban feature. (/ebansubnet a.b.c.d/32) and then whitelist U2 (/ewhitelist U2).
