Features & Functionality
This list is still incomplete! If something isn’t listed, that may not mean that FOSSBilling doesn’t have support for it.
This page provides an overview of all functionality and if it is or isn’t implemented in FOSSBilling. If you see something that’s unimplemented and you’d like to have it added, consider contributing to the project!
Currency Support

| IP Address blocking | ✅ | ||
| reCAPTCHA | ✅ | Currently only v2 is supported. Support for more providers and versions is planned. | |

| MFA/2FA | ❌ | ✅ | MFA/2FA support is considered a prerequisite before FOSSBilling reaches version 1 and is officially considered production-ready. |
| Activity logs | ✅ | ||
| Session hijacking prevention | ✅ | This is not an advanced implementation and leans towards not causing issues rather than being easily triggered. | |
| Session age limits | ✅ | Defaults to 2 hours and may be adjusted via the configuration file. | |
| Restricting staff member logins to certain IP addresses | ✅ | These are set via the “staff” settings. Be very careful as this may lock you out of the administrator panel. | |

| CSRF prevention | ✅ | May be disabled via the configuration file. | |

Core Functionality
| Item | Supported | Planned | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Network interface selection | ✅ | It’s up to individual modules to respect the specified setting. All FOSSBilling ones should do and if they don’t it’s then a bug, however we can’t force a module built by a community member to use the correct interface & if one doesn’t the developer needs to address it on their end. | |
