Because people occasionally share passwords and use a proxy so that they appear to
have the same IP, Strongbox will reduce the number of log ins allowed per day if they are
coming through an open proxy. Experience suggests that this isn't currently as big of a problem
as it once looked like it would become, though, because despite the instructions given by the person
who provides the password, tt always seems to get out to a bunch of people who don't follow the
instructions to use the proxy. As soon as the password gets out "in the wild" there are many IPs using it.
If this is a problem for your site, though, and you use Strongbox, you can reduce the two settings $totallogins
and $totallogins_2d somewhat.
