Authentication

How to auth your IP?

Make sure your DM is open for this server. Otherwise @Dashboard cannot reply and you cannot authorize your IP.

Step-by-Step Authentication

1

Start the Process

Open a Direct Message with the Auth Bot and type:

!rpc auth

This command only works in DMs, not in server channels.

2

Select Your Pass

A dropdown menu will appear showing all your eligible passes. Each pass is displayed with its ID format:

• C123 - Classic Pass #123

• E456 - Elite Pass #456

• G789 - Gold Pass #789

Select the pass you want to use for authentication.

If your pass subscription has expired, you'll see a message asking you to renew before proceeding.

3

Choose a Location

A location selection dropdown will appear, organized by blockchain:

1. Solana - Germany 🇩🇪
2. Ethereum - New York 🇺🇸
3. Polygon - France 🇫🇷
...

Select your preferred RPC node location.

Location Restrictions

• Elite-Only Locations: Some locations are exclusive to Elite and Gold pass holders

• Location Groups: Certain cities have multiple nodes (e.g., New York). If you authenticate to one node in a group, you cannot authenticate to another node in the same group with the same pass

4

Double IP Option (Elite/Gold Only)

If you're using an Elite or Gold pass, you'll be asked:

"As an Elite Pass holder, you have the privilege of authorizing two IP addresses for one selected location. Would you like to authorize a second IP address?"

• Click Yes if you already have one IP at this location and want to add a second

• Click No if this is your first IP at this location

Double IP Restrictions

• Can only be used once per pass across all locations

• Must have an existing single IP at the location first

5

Enter Your IP Address

Two buttons will appear:

• Auth - Enter your IP address directly

• Rent - Create a rental for another user

Click Auth and enter your public IPv4 address in the modal that appears.

IP Requirements

• Must be a valid IPv4 format (e.g., 123.45.67.89)

• Must be a public IP address (not private ranges like 10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 192.168.x.x)

• Use sites like whatismyip.com to find your public IP

6

Confirmation

Upon successful authentication, you'll receive:

"Authed IP: [your IP]" "Node URL in #node-urls"

Your IP is now whitelisted and you can access the RPC node immediately.

Using Double IP (Elite/Gold)

The Double IP feature allows Elite and Gold pass holders to whitelist two IP addresses at a single location. This is useful for:

• Home and office access

• Multiple devices on different networks

• Backup connection from a VPS

How to Enable Double IP

1

Primary IP

First, authenticate your primary IP normally (select "No" at the double IP prompt).

2

Re-run Auth

Run !rpc auth again with the same pass.

3

Select Same Location

Select the same location.

4

Accept Double IP

When prompted about double IP, click Yes.

5

Enter Second IP

Enter your second IP address.

Double IP Tracking

Details about double IP usage

• Once you use double IP for a pass, you cannot use it again with that pass at a different location

• Delete the double IP authorization if you want to use the feature at a different location

Creating a Rental

Pass holders can rent out their authentication slots to other users. When clicking Rent instead of Auth:

1

Enter Renter ID

Enter the Renter's Discord ID (numeric ID).

2

Select Rental Period

Select the Rental Period: 2H, 1D, 1W, or 1M.

3

Provide Transaction ID

Provide the Transaction ID from the SOL payment.
