Regarding geo-ip, as you may know, Strongbox was the first such system to
use any kind of geo-ip. Country based geo-ip seems to work quite well,
possibly better than Frog's assumption that the database can be trusted to be
more specific than that although the company who makes the database says
it's wrong as much as 40% of the time, depending on the region. However,
Frog's "feature" is great marketing since most webmasters don't realize it's
based on an admittedly inaccurate database, so in Strongbox 4.0 we're blending
both approaches. Whereas Frog RELIES on the database being more acurrate
than it's creators claim, Strongbox 4.0 will CONSIDER the more specific geo-ip
information ALONG WITH other factors including basic bio-metric indicators
which look at the person on the other side of the monitor.

Thanks for the reply. I'm so looking forward to Strongbox 4! I've got some new sites going online soon, and will want my old ones updated to the latest version too! I've loved strongbox since the day it was installed. No monthly fees, and works as promised. Haven't had a huge unexpected server bill since.
