Managing Authentications

This guide covers how to view, update, delete, and manage your authenticated IP addresses and related settings.

Viewing Your Authentications

Using the Delete Command

To see all your current authentications, run in DM:

!rpc delete

This displays a table of all your authenticated entries:

| #  | NFT   | IP            | LOC | Double? |
|----|-------|---------------|-----|---------|
| 1  | E123  | 203.0.113.50  | 2   | No      |
| 2  | E123  | 198.51.100.25 | 2   | Yes     |
| 3  | C456  | 192.0.2.100   | 5   | No      |
| 4  | F789  | 10.20.30.40   | 12  | No      |

After the table, you'll see:

• General location IDs and names

• Prime location IDs (if you have Prime passes)

Type exit to close without making changes.

Updating an IP Address

1

View Your Authentications

Run:

!rpc delete

2

Select the Entry

Type the row number of the entry you want to update, for example:

1

3

Choose Update

Two buttons appear:

• Update — Change the IP address

• Delete — Remove the authentication

Click Update.

4

Enter New IP

A modal opens for IP input:

• Enter your new public IPv4 address

• Must be valid format (e.g., 203.0.113.100)

5

Confirmation

Upon success:

"IP updated successfully"

What happens behind the scenes:

1. Old IP is removed from the node

2. Old gRPC token is invalidated

3. New IP is whitelisted

4. New gRPC token is generated (if applicable)

5. Database is updated

Deleting an Authentication

1

View Your Authentications

Run:

!rpc delete

2

Select the Entry

Type the row number, for example:

2

3

Choose Delete

Click the Delete button.

4

Confirmation

Upon success:

"[IP] removed successfully from: [Location Name]" "You may now assign a new IP address to the node if needed."

What happens behind the scenes:

1. IP is removed from node firewall/config

2. gRPC token is deleted from node

3. Database record is removed

4. Location slot becomes available again

Deleting Rental Authorizations

If you try to delete an entry that's being rented out:

"Request Denied: Your revoke process cannot proceed due to an ongoing rental. Please wait until the current rental period concludes."

You must wait until the rental expires before deleting.

Adding Remarks

1

Run the Remark Command

!rpc remark

2

View Your Entries

A table appears showing current remarks:

| #  | NFT   | LOC | Double? | RMK           |
|----|-------|-----|---------|---------------|
| 1  | E123  | 2   | No      | Home server   |
| 2  | E123  | 2   | Yes     | Office        |
| 3  | C456  | 5   | No      |               |

Select Entry

Type the row number:

3

4

Enter Remark

"Please enter the remark you want to add to your authenticated entry."

Type your remark:

Trading bot server

5

Confirmation

"Remark added successfully."

Viewing gRPC Tokens

For locations that support gRPC authentication:

!rpc token

Output:

* Pass: E123
* Country: Germany 🇩🇪
* Double?: No
* IP: 203.0.113.50
* gRPC Token: tkn_abc123xyz789

* Pass: E123
* Country: Germany 🇩🇪
* Double?: Yes
* IP: 198.51.100.25
* gRPC Token: tkn_def456uvw012

Using gRPC Tokens:

• Include the token in your gRPC requests for authentication. The token format and usage depends on the specific RPC implementation.

Viewing Active Rentals (Pass Holders)

To see rentals you've created for others:

!rpc rents

Output:

## Your active rentals:

**New York - Ethereum**
* Renter ID: @User#1234
* Time Period: Jan 15, 2025 → Jan 22, 2025
* Ends in 5 days
* Updates Left: 3
* Transaction ID: 5KtPn1abc123...

Managing Double IP

Checking Double IP Status

The delete table shows which entries use double IP:

| #  | NFT   | IP            | LOC | Double? |
|----|-------|---------------|-----|---------|
| 1  | E123  | 203.0.113.50  | 2   | No      |
| 2  | E123  | 198.51.100.25 | 2   | Yes     |

Removing Double IP

1. Run !rpc delete

2. Select the entry marked "Yes" in Double column

3. Click Delete

4. Now you can use double IP at a different location

Authentication Rules Reminder

• Elite/Gold: One double IP per pass total (any general location)

• Prime: 1 IP per shared location (4 locations) + unlimited on dedicated RPC

• Classic/Flash/Honorary: Single IP, no double IP

Best Practices

Organizing Your Authentications

• Use remarks — Label each entry with its purpose

• Track locations — Note which physical locations you're using

• Monitor double IP — Keep track of where you've used it

Security Recommendations

• Update IPs promptly — Change IPs when your network changes

• Remove unused entries — Delete authentications you no longer need

• Protect gRPC tokens — Treat tokens like passwords

• Use static IPs — Dynamic IPs may cause access issues

Managing Multiple Passes

• Spread locations — Use different passes for different regions

• Track by pass — The NFT column helps identify which pass is used

• Plan double IP — Decide which pass to use for double IP locations

Troubleshooting

"You have made an invalid choice"

• Enter a valid row number from the displayed table

• Numbers must match exactly (1, 2, 3, etc.)

"The node is currently inaccessible"

• Node server may be temporarily down

• Try again in a few minutes

• Contact support if issue persists

Timeout Errors

• The bot waits 60 seconds for responses

• If you timeout, run the command again

• Have your information ready before starting

"Request Denied: ongoing rental"

• Cannot delete entries with active rentals

• Wait for rental to expire

• Or contact the renter to end early (if needed)
