Link IP logic

How strictly a downloader IP must match the IP that minted the temp link.

Where to find it

Admin → Settings → Files → Downloads → Link IP logic

Setting key: link_ip_logic

Options

Value Meaning
exact Exact IP (strictest)
first3 First 3 IPv4 octets (111.222.333.*)
first2 First 2 IPv4 octets (111.222.*.*)
all No IP binding (default)

Non-IPv4 addresses fall back to exact-style binding when a prefix mode is selected.

How it works

Mobile networks and CGNAT change IPs often. Exact matching causes “link not valid from this IP” failures after minting on Wi‑Fi and downloading on cellular.

Common problems

Phone downloads fail after minting on Wi‑Fi

IP changed. Use first2 / first3 or all.

Hotlink abuse after All IPs

Tighten binding and keep short Symlink expiry + Symlink max uses.
