v1.12 Update Details

This is a minor version update with no major changes. Users can choose to upgrade based on their needs.

IP Blacklist

Starting with version v1.12, the IP blacklist feature is available. It can be configured in the backend under System Settings > IP Blacklist. The system supports single IPs (e.g., 192.168.50.1) or IP ranges (e.g., 192.168.50.), as shown below.

Once the IP blacklist is enabled, the specified IPs will be blocked from accessing the image hosting homepage and the upload API, while other pages remain unaffected.

Added Cookie-Based Interception for Suspicious Images

When image content moderation is enabled, if a visitor has uploaded more than 3 suspicious images, they will be blocked from uploading further. This feature relies on cookies to identify and block users. Note that this restriction will be lifted if the visitor clears their browser cache or switches browsers. It is recommended to use this feature in conjunction with the IP blacklist.

Optimized Suspicious Image Management

In the backend under Image Management, floating action buttons for batch deletion and batch marking as suspicious have been added to the right side. Users no longer need to scroll to the bottom to perform these actions.
