Thank you for purchasing or upgrading to Voodoo Security 3.1.
VS 3.1 expands on the stability and reliability of the previous version, by including new useful security features, integrating more deeply into our web systems, and extends new threat analysis, so we can protect you from attacks that haven't even been invented yet.
Features
- Automatic removal of known attackers using our DDOS protected threat database.
- Minimum age restriction to prevent a griefer making new avatars to attack.
- Automatic removal of avatars who appear to be trying to crash the region.
- Optionally remove avatars who are flying, AFK, or have the wrong group active.
- Notifications can be hidden, displayed in local chat, or sent to the VS3 owner.
- White list, to always allow an avatar onto your land.
- Full region scan, but the parcel owner must be the same as the device owner.
- Configurable range setting, to limit the protected area.
- Script and memory usage limiter.
- Excellent customer support, we'll help you through those tough times ;)
Getting Started
When you rez the Voodoo Security device from your inventory, you'll need to configure it to your requirements.
Right click the device, and select "Edit" from the menu.
The config notecard contains all the settings for your security device detailed below.
The whitelist notecard contains a list of avatar keys for friends, who should never be ejected from your land.
Group Owned Land
The owner of the land, must be the same as the owner of the Voodoo Security device to be allowed to eject.
If your land is owned by a group, you must "deed" the VS3 to the same group.
On the General tab in edit, select the land group, tick Share, click the Deed button, and Deed again on the pop-up dialog, as below.
The Config Notecard
All the configuration is made up of settings, each one has a name and a value, and is seperated by a comma.
The lines beginning with // are just help tips, and can be safely removed if required.
