Web Proxy Redirector [BETA]

[isosdcftp]

Current Version is in BETA

What is it?
This hack was designed to prevent users from using a web based proxy such as http://www.dontfilter.us/ to circumvent a IP address ban. It uses javascript to determine if the current domain matches the forum's domain. If it does not match, then it redirects the user to the website of your choosing. If the proxy strips the javascript code, then the forum will not be visible to the user, and a error message will be shown.

Effectiveness
This has been tested and has blocked at least 90% of all web proxies. Best of all, this hack requires no template hacks. The hack is completely self-contained in the product file.
Phrases are used for the informational messages.

Instructions
Instructions are included in the zip file.

Demonstration
For a demonstration, you may attempt to visit my forum http://www.isosdcftp.com through a web proxy such as http://www.dontfilter.us/.

Special thanks goes to rjmjr69 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=181455)
Please provide feedback :)

[isosdcftp]

Reserved :)

[rjmjr69]

SWEET works like a charm.... Out of the 200+ free proxy sites I've tried I have only found 2 that will allow me thru. Not bad if you ask me. Thanks ISO look forward to see what you have up your sleeve next..........

[FreshFroot]

nice stuff man and thanks.

[bashy]

Hi, I tried your demo, it said no proxies allowed then redirected me to your site, was it meant to do that lol?

[DementedMindz]

yeah bashy it did the same thing for me also lol

[Greek76]

It lets Xroxy.com go through to your site just tried it lol. But regardless going to install I like it and I worry about individuals registering under proxies.

[SnickersTK]

This is wonderful, thanks!

and hope it'll soon support more proxies!

[redlabour]

Uninstalled because there are no real Options at AdminCP.

I have nearly 20 Domains my Board is hosted on - to much work to enter everyone directly at the Plugin-Code.

Waiting for a Update with Linkback at Productmanager at AdminCP to vb.org and a real useable Menu.

[projectego]

Awesome! I'm definitely installing this one. Cheers. ;)

[Mrdby]

what now?

[Luky]

I love you. Such a brilliant thinker! To bad if the person is viewing the forums in an iFrame, but eh, the chances are small :)

[Charlie98902]

AOL users always use a proxy does this effect them?

[Luky]

No, it shouldnt as AOL users use a browser that is in their browser or something like that, this mod checks the url for stuff like http://www.thisisaproxy.com/proxy.php?http://www.yourforums.com/register.php
(http://www.thisisaproxy.com/proxy.php?http://www.yourforums.com/register.php)

[isosdcftp]

Hi, I tried your demo, it said no proxies allowed then redirected me to your site, was it meant to do that lol?

Yes, that is the purpose of this plugin. It detects if the user is using a proxy, and if so it redirects then to the site of your choosing. In this case my url.

It lets Xroxy.com go through to your site just tried it lol. But regardless going to install I like it and I worry about individuals registering under proxies.

It seams as if xroxy.com uses a sophisticated javascript parser. This will be fixed in the next update.

A update is under development, and will address all of your complaints :)

Thanks :o lol

AOL users always use a proxy does this effect them?
No, this only affects users that use web based proxies. This does not affect users such as AOL users that use traditional port based proxies.

[Snake]

isosdcftp, I have three words for you. I love you! :D I've been waiting for a proxy hack such as this one and it's finally here. Thank you, thank you very much!

Just a couple of suggestions here. I was wondering if you could add a couple of features to the hack such as "Web Proxy Ban", you know. So the hack can do one of the other; either ban proxies or redirect them to the original URL address. I think that would be great.

[Mrdby]

maybe i should wait for the next update to install!

[bitdefuser]

I've disabled Javascript on my browser and have gotten this error (Just like if I was using proxies):
Sorry, you must have javascript enabled to view this site.That's kind of a bummer. It blocks EVERYONE who has Javascript disabled, regardless of proxies or not.

[rjmjr69]

I've disabled Javascript on my browser and have gotten this error (Just like if I was using proxies):
That's kind of a bummer. It blocks EVERYONE who has Javascript disabled, regardless of proxies or not.

One would expect people to have JavaScript running considering most sites use it. Not having it active would be a crap browsing experience.
Good work Iso can't wait to see what the update brings.

[morrow]

Just gives me a blank page. Not only that but it looks like it blocked my work proxy. I can't access my site from work unless I disable it.

[rjmjr69]

Just gives me a blank page. Not only that but it looks like it blocked my work proxy. I can't access my site from work unless I disable it.


LOL well I guess thats your confirmation that it is working correctly. Dont forget you have to enter a page to redirect the users too or you'll get a blank page. Next release will have this option in the Admin Cp.

This hack works so well Even some of the advanced members are having troubles getting around it...

[whitetigergrowl]

http://proxy.org/

Try it against those proxies. ;)

Some work, some don't.

[MThornback]

You are a genius :) nominated for MOTM :)

[Murty]

This is awesome! I was having problems with banned users doing this only yesterday. Definate install! Just a thought though, for the demo, perhaps have it redirect to like google or something rather than your site. freaked me out a bit until i read your post at the bottom of the first page.

otherwise... FANTASTIC, ill vote for ya MOTM

[MThornback]

I redirected to google :) I almost have myself a damn heart attack till I re-read the part about NOT using http:// in the whitelist :p

[peterpigman]

Am getting this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/robjr75/public_html/forum/global.php(550) : eval()'d code on line 56

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_portal_output() in /home/robjr75/public_html/index.php on line 72

When using ie.

[rjmjr69]

Some proxy's out there will get passed it as it stands now but it will be worked on some more. Any more suggestion for the next release?

[isosdcftp]

Am getting this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/robjr75/public_html/forum/global.php(550) : eval()'d code on line 56

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_portal_output() in /home/robjr75/public_html/index.php on line 72

When using ie.

Are you sure that is caused by this product? Reason I am asking is because the product does not call 'print_portal_output()' anywhere in the code.

[rjmjr69]

Wheres my update? lol

[Barakat]

well done.

[puertoblack2003]

nice job another useful tool for my forum

[rjmjr69]

WOW with the new code he has coming out. I couldnt find not even ONE proxy that could get thru... Amazing this should be a part of the Next VB release.

[Mrdby]

So Is This Worth Using?

[rjmjr69]

So Is This Worth Using?

OMG is it. If you have problem causing members this is your answer. Anyone that has those members who get banned then come right back using a proxy this is your answer to get rid of them for good.

[Mrdby]

ok where so i find this in my admincp?

[MThornback]

Yea there is no settings group in the attached zip....did you update the instructions but not the xml? :p

(btw...this hack...will save SO many headaches...I vote you MVP of the 3.6.x series :D)

[Mrdby]

huh? i'm in my admin cp and see nothing to update.

[MThornback]

the product XML has nothing in the settings group...the plugin was reconfigured to work with settings that you can't enter cause the fields aren't there.\

In other words...the half of this mod that lets you configure it isn't in the package atm, he probably forgot to add it in is all :)

[Mrdby]

well do you have it?

[rjmjr69]

Woops

[isosdcftp]

Woops, thats odd. It didn't export them. I'm working on that right now.

[Mrdby]

lolol i'm waiting!!!

[MThornback]

patience :p

[Mrdby]

lol i know..lol

[isosdcftp]

Ok ladies and gentlemen. I think I have corrected that issue. And I'm sorry that took so long. Apparently there was a plugin interfering with the exports.

[Mrdby]

OK added..so do i add proxies?

[isosdcftp]

No, this has a automatic detector that detects if your site is being viewed through a web proxy. If so, the user is redirected to the url of your choosing. So there is no need to manually add the proxies.

[MThornback]

Settings are there...

When I configured it...my forum homepage doesn't load...the background, and part of the footer do, nothing else

[Mrdby]

its not working.lol

[isosdcftp]

Really? Can I ask what browser you are using? It must be a compatability problem.

[Mrdby]

i never tried to log on mysite without a proxy and its still redirecting me.

[Mrdby]

firefox

[Mrdby]

both ie7 and firefox not working for me.

[MThornback]

Ff 2.0.0.3

[Mrdby]

Warning: Web Proxy Redirector is not correctly configured, and is therefore disabled if i don;'t add a proxy...but if i add the proxy u gave us an example...will have me redirected even when i'm not using it.

[Tulsa]

I'm using FF 2.0.0.3 on a MAC and IE7 on a PC and my site is working fine with this running...

nice work on this!

[isosdcftp]

MThornback and Mrdby I will gladly help you guys out. I will contact you via PM tomorow because I must leave right now. And I'm sorry things aren't working out for you guys :(

[MThornback]

Tulsa do you have any other plugins running on the parse template hook?

[Tulsa]

Yes, I have six other mods using the parse_templates hook.

[MThornback]

Mind sharing what mods they are? Maybe this is a incompatibility issue?

[Mrdby]

anybody????

[rjmjr69]

Mind sharing what mods they are? Maybe this is a incompatibility issue?

Yes can you please list them. And if you could kindly list what mods you do have installed etc. You can PM them if that is better for you. Thanks we'll get this solved quickly.

[MThornback]

Whatever that latest update was....it didn't fix it :(

[Tulsa]

The seven I listed certainly aren't causing the problem you guys are having. All I know is I'm staying away from whatever that other update was since it's working for me.. I'm not about to risk it... :D

[Tulsa]

Now on Cyb's advanced forum statistics I'm running 4.9 version and I think it's up to 5.4 now. Just thought I should toss that one out.

[Tulsa]

Safari isn't working with this mod. I just loaded that up to see and I'm getting a totally blank screen.

Javascript debugging got this.

ReferenceError - Can't find variable: proxy
ReferenceError - Can't find variable: showbody

[Alibass]

Running 3.6.7 and I just installed 1.2 and it doesn't work. Will not redirect and even when you are not behind a proxy it sends you to the redirect page. I went back to 1.0 and all works fine.

[MThornback]

ReferenceError - Can't find variable: proxy
ReferenceError - Can't find variable: showbody

My eyes are blurry what with it being 3am...but I think I see the bug....I'll post what i'm thinking tommorow so I don't mess anyone up if its my eyes playing tricks on me (which is entirely possible :p)

[MThornback]

No i'm wrong....but to make an uneducated guess there is something wrong with $webproxy_if_condition somewhere....

[puertoblack2003]

this should be a beta stage my .2 cents till all bugs are iron out ;)

[Mrdby]

so whats the latest?

[isosdcftp]

this should be a beta stage my .2 cents till all bugs are iron out ;)

Yup, I think you're right puerto. BTW, small world huh? Nice to see you here :P

It was working fine on my board. I figured it worked fine on my board, so it'll work fine in others...Bad guess lol

I will revert the javascript code to the earlier version with the new obfuscation technique to fool javascript parsers. I will release it as version 1.2.1 so that people who already have it installed will be notified.

I figured writeln together with html editing techniques would be more compatible than what was used in version 1.0. And to a point that was true, because the proxy redirection technique worked on my windows CE cell phone. But I never figured the javascript variable scope would come into play in different browsers. Sorry for causing such a ruckus :o

If anyone needs any help with this let me know, I will gladly guide them and/or do it for them.

[Mrdby]

so now what?

[isosdcftp]

Just updated it. It should work fine now.

[WaRxHeAd]

Where can i find the settings panel? I am dumb and can't find it :P

[Alibass]

I am using version 3.6.7 and I cant find the setting panel either. I could at least find settings panel in 1.2
Going back to 1.0

[rjmjr69]

Works just fine for me. Glad your getting it fixed ISO your the man. Its a process dont let a few errors get you down. Theres tons of variables with these boards........

[wizardan]

I am using version 3.6.7 and I cant find the setting panel either. Same here.

[WaRxHeAd]

it works, all i need is settings so i can configure it :(

[rjmjr69]

This has been changed to a BETA plug in for now. Until the rest of the bugs are ironed out. Thank you all for the help once this is done and fixed I'm sure its going to be a big hit. Personally I think it should be apart of the next VB release.
If anyone else is having issues please post them here so we can get them worked out

And we are very sorry for those of you who are having issues we know its disheartening but we are working non stop trying to get this fixed and working 100% for you all. With your help it will go much faster. Thank you all again and please be patient

[isosdcftp]

Fixed, and I apologize.
As you can tell I have little experience with the product system. This is my first mod.
I wish I had a test board. Does anyone know if creating a testing forum is against the TOS of vbulletin?

[Tulsa]

I wish I had a test board. Does anyone know if creating a testing forum is against the TOS of vbulletin?

If it is, they're going to be pissed at me.. :D

[Alibass]

It would be nice if beta was put in the download title. The last two days I have download updates and they do not work on 3.6.7 and I half to reinstall 1.0

I am willing to help test this hack as long as I know it's a beta and not a public release with supposedly fixed bugs!

[Tulsa]

<u>1.2.1

</u>I have this working on
1. PC with IE7
2. PC with FF 2.0.0.3
3. Mac with FF 2.0.0.3
4. Mac Opera
5. Mac Camino

Not working on: Mac Safari. Safari is telling me I need to have javascript enabled even though it is enabled. Which is better than last night when it just showed a blank screen.

[isosdcftp]

I apologize. I know that it's been a bumpy road.
Reason I did not set this to beta is because it was working fine on my board, and I had thoroughly tested it before releasing it.
I have learned the hard way just how much vbulletin boards vary. I am fairly certain that this version is stable, since I have uninstalled and reinstalled it on my board 3 times already.

I have a new found respect for vbulletin developers. I cannot begin to fathom just how many varying configurations they have to program for.

[Tulsa]

I wouldn't sweat that beta thing to much myself. It's really rare that you can d/l a mod that isn't going to need a tweak or two here and there. Your giving of your time and energy for free and I'm sure, others like myself appreciate that effort to help enhance our sites features.

[isosdcftp]

Thank you Tulsa. :)
I am looking into the Safari issue right now. Apparently it is not collapsing/expanding the Div like it should.

[rjmjr69]

Now see that wasnt all that bad.... Iso relax bro your doing all this for FREE and we all REALLY appreciate your time and hard work. For those who choose to +++++ they know where they can go..........

I can't remember a hack being released and it worked without issues from the start. With so many different variables Even Jelsoft can't get a release to work right away without issues....

Just keep your head up bro and dont worry about the negative people I'll take care of them

[wizardan]

Are the settings to be found in vBulletin Options, in the admin CP?

[isosdcftp]

yes, look for a 'Web Proxy Redirect' settings group.

[rjmjr69]

Everything is working just wonderfully now. Thank you so much ISO so what do you have up your sleeve for us next?

[MThornback]

"Sorry, you must have javascript enabled to view this site."

My JS is enabled....I even enabled it more than i'm comfortable with to be sure.... :(

FF 2.0.0.3 is my browser

[rjmjr69]

"Sorry, you must have javascript enabled to view this site."

My JS is enabled....I even enabled it more than i'm comfortable with to be sure.... :(

FF 2.0.0.3 is my browser

Thats odd.... I can access it with no problems using IE and FF

Can you try cleaning out your cookies etc

[MThornback]

tried....still no joy

[rjmjr69]

tried....still no joy


What are your settings? In the AdminCP what do you have on each line

[V8Owner]

Not sure what happened but i do not have any Web Proxy Redirect' settings group. in my vb options.??


This is an excellent hack, I cant wait to benefit from this. Huge thanks for the time & effort that has gone into making & supporting this :)

[aztecboi2003]

I downloaded and installed the one in the zip and it wasn't in my admin cp. I uninstalled it and installed the 1.2 version and it works fine for me.

[Mrdby]

anybody else?

[jonty]

is it possible to just log anonymous hits, rather than actively redirect them?
And log the non-java users?

Great potential

Dont let development get you down - you can't always expect the unexpected!

[Neal-UK]

I've no options showing in the admincp also.

[isosdcftp]

Most (if not all) issues should be fixed in this version.

Thanks jonty :)
It is possible to log proxy users instead of redirecting. I'll add that to the todo list ;)
As for the non-javascript users, unfortunately I can't see anyway to log them, but I can allow them access to the 'contact us' page, or even specified forums. You think that'll work?

EDIT: Can somebody please test this with Safari? Try my site: www.isosdcftp.com
Thanks in advance.

[Tulsa]

Sorry, Safari is a no go on your site. I'm still receiving that same message.

Sorry, you must have javascript enabled to view this site.

[MThornback]

Works FAMOUSLY :D:D Thank you!

[wizardan]

Well, finally, release 1.2.2 allowed me to see a settings panel in vBulletin Options:)

I may need to ask a stupid question here...
When asked to include any domains that my forums are hosted on, and separate them with the 'pipe' character...
What is the pipe character?

edit:
I tried with the letter 'l', but that didn;t seems to work, as I couldn't get back to my forums after and was redirected as if I was using a proxy:p

[Tulsa]

It's the symbol on the same key as the \ symbol.

[isosdcftp]

Sorry, Safari is a no go on your site. I'm still receiving that same message.

:( Well, at least it's progress :P

Works FAMOUSLY :D:D Thank you!

AWESOME! Thanks for all your help (and patience) lol

Thanks Tulsa.

Pleased to report this product now doing its thing!

[MThornback]

AWESOME! Thanks for all your help (and patience) lol

Anything I can do to help, just let me know :)

To answer your question - No.

Jelsoft requires that it not be open to the public, and that it be under a subdirectory of your domain in which the licensed vbulletin installation is on under the folder named "testvb".

A test copy of vB is very useful, and very helpful. :)

[isosdcftp]

Ah, thanks so much for that info. That will come in very handy ;)

[V8Owner]

Version 1.2.2 fixed everything for me. working perfectly now :)

Well Done!!

[Alibass]

@isosdcftp

v1.2.2 working like a treat on 3.6.7 using FF or IE7

Great job and great mod.

Thanks for all your hard work! :)

[rjmjr69]

Ah so happy to see everyones problems are solved. Great work as usual Iso thanks

And for all you THIEVES please at least give the proper credit to the author before you go posting his hard work on your forum as your own.

[MThornback]

I've come across another problem...its nothing major as i'm planning to phase them out anyway.... but either this doesn't play nice with sub-domains, or there is an incomparability with VBadvanced that treats its behaviour like a proxy....it could be both...but i'd imagine it has more to do with VBa somehow.

[isosdcftp]

subdomains need to be set in the domains setting.
For example: mydomain.com|www.mydomain.com|forums.mydomain.com

The subdomain forums.mydomain.com needs to be added there. :)

[Tulsa]

Here's a temporary fix for you to use in Safari. Using the debug menu, change the user agent to MAC MSIE 5.22. You can use Netscape 4.79 as well but not all of the java features are available.

Type the following command in Terminal (while Safari is NOT running):

% defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Then relaunch Safari.

The debug menu has some useful options on it, so you may find this a very useful hack. If you ever wish to disable it again, just repeat the command with a "0" instead of a "1".

[MThornback]

subdomains need to be set in the domains setting.
For example: mydomain.com|www.mydomain.com|forums.mydomain.com

The subdomain forums.mydomain.com needs to be added there. :)

Did that....same problem....VBa incompatability then?

[MThornback]

Nevermind...my error...

[version2]

Not working on: Mac Safari. Safari is telling me I need to have javascript enabled even though it is enabled. Which is better than last night when it just showed a blank screen.

Having this issue as well.

[version2]

Also happening with Konqueror browser, but changing the browser identity doesn't help on that one. Any way I can work around this via javascript? Maybe check for those specific browsers?

[rjmjr69]

Also happening with Konqueror browser, but changing the browser identity doesn't help on that one. Any way I can work around this via javascript? Maybe check for those specific browsers?

Konqueror? Never heard of that one. Its a javascript issue seems as Safari doesnt like playing nice with Java.... Anyone having issues please post your configurations so we can check them out. Seeing how this is beta we are suggestion those with safari be aware this will not work.

[Tulsa]

It can work with Safari. I already posted how the Safari users could make that happen, just not under it's default configuration.

[isosdcftp]

I'm going to release a fix for the safari issue later today. I need to play with the javascript code a little.

[meissenation]

Installed on my live board, I know bad bad bad. In any case, it works great. :D

[rjmjr69]

wheres the new release?

[rinkrat]

This worked great, unfortunately I got a ton of complaints from Safari users so I had to remove it.

Yah, worked great...but had to uninstall. Konqueror uses the same engine as Safari. khtml. I tried to work on it a bit, but I got too swamped at work. Just need to identify those browsers in the code, I think.

[version2]

Thank you. if you come across a fix please let us all know.
Will do. I will try to work on it tonight a bit.

[isosdcftp]

Can somebody please let me know if the attached version fixes the safari incompatibility issue?
Thanks in advance. :)

[isanda]

Was working great for us but does not seem to like photopost. Whenever we try to upload a photo we are redirected from our own site. Anybody any ideas??

[isosdcftp]

Perhaps there is a sub-domain in use that is not configured.
Something like photo.mydomain.com
If I knew your forum's url I would know for certain.

[isanda]

My site is www.schoolmemories.co.uk

It is only uploading photos in the gallery that does not work. Thanks for your help :)

[isosdcftp]

Ah, you had www.schoolmemories.co.uk configured but not schoolmemories.co.uk.
Make sure to add |schoolmemories.co.uk to the domain configuration.

[Tulsa]

It is working in Safari now. One odd thing on the redirect screen. Right before it redirects you and it's telling you proxies are not allowed, it's showing the footer of the site.

[isanda]

Ah, you had www.schoolmemories.co.uk configured but not schoolmemories.co.uk.
Make sure to add |schoolmemories.co.uk to the domain configuration.

Brill thanks

[aj8690]

This is great! Thank you!

Edit:

I just found a problem. It doesn't work with zoints profiles. It says you must have javascript enabled. I hope we can fix this.

[Tulsa]

Any ideas on that "footer" thing? It's showing that not only in Safari but FF as well.

[DementedMindz]

anyway to make it so this script only executes on the register page cause if not its loading the javascript on every page?

That would sorta defeat the purpose users arent going to use proxies just to register. But I'm sure you could set it to just that one page for your needs. Iso has a few family matters to attend he will be back in about a week and we should see some updates and new hacks. Please be patient. Thanks everyone

maybe a option to have it on just that page... I have used this to stop my spam bots thats why I was wondering about that. Ill take a look at the code maybe change it around some so it just loads on that page. cause I wouldnt mind if they looked at my site on a proxy but if they try to register i would like to stop them.

That would be a handy option. I'm sure Iso's will take that into consideration once he is back online. And please feel free to edit the code to your needs. If you come up with a change it would be nice if you posted it to share with the rest here. Thanks

[scan-pa]

Has the official update been done yet that fixes the safari browser issue?

thanks,

[leeman]

Heya ...

Marvelous thing this.

I installed it on my test board and directly after install i could access site fine ...
With the webproxy u posted I got redirected.

But now ... I and everyone gets redirected :s

Help!!! PLZ ... I can't even logon admincp.

Site http://www.insanetrain.com/vbtest

[leeman]

Never mind i managed to get rid of it.

I did like this (haxxed from another thread)

Log into your FTP
Go to public_html --> forum --> includes
Download "config.php"

Below
<?php

Add
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Save and Re-upload

Now If you're using Firefox go to Tools --> Options --> Privacy
Click the button that says "Settings". Make sure "Cookies" are ticked and click "OK". Press "OK" again. Close your browser and try going to your site and see if it worked.

For Internet Explorer
Go to Tools --> Internet Options
Click on "Delete Cookies".


Now go into your ACP --> Plugins & Products --> Plugin Manager
Look for "Web Proxy Redirector" (most likely it'll be this one that is causing the problem).

Edit the Plugin named "Web Proxy Redirector" and change "Plugin is Active" to "No".

Edit your 'config.php' file again

Change this
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

To this
//define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Save and Re-upload.


But I removed it :(

Don't know what went wron ... Can't miss much with installing a product ...

[isosdcftp]

Hey, sorry for the delay guys. I'm working on a better version that allows you varying settings of effectiveness and compatibility. Also adding a few more options.

Also, sorry for the late delay leeman. But that is very wierd because this hack should not affect the admin control panel at all. The hook that is called by this product is not used in the admincp.

Uhmmm when i login in to admincp redirects from www.forumname.com/forum/admincp to www.foumname.com/forum/login.php ... www.forumname.com/forum is added to the redirect list .... ;)

But I still had to uninstall it since it redirected everyone and everythin' :(

[dollyking]

very helpful, thank you so much for this mod

[Chachacha]

Wow, this add-on rocks. Installed (works perfectly so far) and nominated for Mod of the month!

[bigcurt]

For some reason, when my users go to www.keyhunt.com it works perfect. However, when they just go to keyhunt.com it redirects them ( and me )..anyone know why??

[bigcurt]

Figured it out..I am an idiot ;)

[Mrdby]

<a href="http://privax.us/" target="_blank">http://privax.us/</a>

use these and see will they get redirected

Excelent Hack - Perfect on 3.6.7PL1

Thanks:D

[bulbasnore]

Hey iso, great effort! What can we do to help you out?

Here's the info on what the safari debug menu can do. There some info on how to set debug points in your code, too.

http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/faq.html#anchor14

Capabilities seem quite extensive. Any further instructions on what to do with it?

Also, note well, there is now a v3 Safari beta available for windows that you can use. Check the apple site for that beta.

On your site I get two " messages, one for 'showbody' and the other for 'proxy'.

[Eccentricity]

Anything that will help foil Trolls, even if it has a few drawbacks is ace in my book. If nothing else I can use this to keep them out until they decide to stop trying and move on to another board.

[pcoskat]

Ditto ^THAT^!

I have a couple of 'problem children' that are always trying to get into my forum.

Can't wait till this is out of beta!! whoo hooo!:D

[kofoid]

This hack rocks!!!! But a bunch of people on my site use safari :(:( I hope you get that bug worked out!

[isosdcftp]

Thanks for the encouragement guys! Good news, I figured out the issues with safari!
Well, at least it works on the windows version, I assume it will work on Macs too. :)
Expect a update real soon.

[TheMilkCarton]

It may not work on the Mac version until they actually release 3.0 for the Mac. :)

I have access to Safari on both Mac and Windows so I can help out if need be.

[scan-pa]

The current version of this hack does not cause problems with the win version of the safari beta browser.

We need the Mac version problem fixed asap please.

[Censtudios]

most schools use proxies too... will it block those too?

[Tulsa]

It's working for the MAC Safari, it just shows your footer when it gets redirected.

download the version in post #137

[TheMilkCarton]

From description:It uses javascript to determine if the current domain matches the forum's domain.
So what about Frames? I'm going to be redoing a forum where all links to the forum from the main website keep the forum in a frame (The frame was used as a site navigation bar).

So, the domains will still match, but I'm not sure if you mean JUST the domain, or if the entire URL has to match.

I also saw someone mentioned on the first page that it was "too bad iFrames couldn't be used" or something to that extent, and you didn't seem to correct them, so I assume frames are a no go? :(

[lazytown]

I think this mod is a great idea. A few things that might be helpful... I still want to allow users that have javascript disabled. For one, the search engine bots come in like that and who knows what this will do to them. It would be nice if that could be an option. How much would that reduce the effectiveness? For some, 50% is better than nothing (while still allowing non-javascript browsers if possible).

Second, someone else had a good idea of only using this for the register page. Since registration IPs are permanently logged, that is really all that is necessary for some forums -- unless they are hacking accounts. Does it block guest proxy access to the forum completely or only when a user tries to post?

Another person had a suggestion of keeping a log or report (like create a thread) of users using anon-proxies. That's a neat idea as well. The RBL-Proxy checker mod (that is now unavailable) would auto-ban users who registered with a proxy.

[punchbowl]

I get "Sorry, you must have javascript enabled to view this site." flash up at the top of every page briefly then disappear.

using firefox 2 with javascript enabled

====================

had to uninstall as safari users couldn't get onto the site.

Worked very well for me personally.

[Gottcha]

Can someone try my board
www.coralforum.com

I have Domains set to: coralforum.com|www.coralforum.com
redirect to: http://www.google.com
Timeout set: 5000

not familiar with web proxies andwould really like to block banned users from entering the site.

Thanks in advance

[rjmjr69]

Iso's where are you? Corol doenst seem as if you have it installed correctly. Once you do you should get redirected to whatever page you choose.

Seeing the message that the scripts are blocked is what you want to see Does it bring you to the forwarded page you set in the options after the script message appears?

[Gottcha]

doesnt do anything .... .went right to the site

[Rik Brown]

ISO:

Thanks for this mod. Love it!

Perhaps a small wish list item....

The text color used for the "Redirecting" message was one of our site's light grey "alt" colors that works fine with a dark background as on our system but not on white that showed during the redirect message (I could barely read it). So I added html formatting to change it to "red" in the plugin. It might be nice to be able to override the default colors to allow one to customize the foreground (and perhaps the background) just in case.

Anyway, changing the mod took less than 30 seconds so its not a biggy.

And this is a great mod as it stands!

Thanks. -- Rik

[Zaiaku]

One problem with this is that it doesn't let some members browsse the site with their phones.

[dutchbb]

I'm not using a proxy and I got the message and redirected and so are all other members. Not working...

[weedheaven]

Yeah when the mod is enabled and you enter a website to redirect to. It redirect all ppl, even tough you just acces the site normal. If you dont enter sites for it, its not configured and disabled. Some solution for this, cause enabling it doesnt allow you to acces the site normal. It only redirect you. The only part what is accesible is the cp. I hope there is a fix for this.

i did: Domains: weedheaven.com
redirecturl: http://wowomg.com
redirect timout: 5000

It redirects, but everything including me

[Reminisce32]

How can I get this to work without redirecting myself? I am using FF and not a proxy.

[isosdcftp]

Your redirect URL should have been "wowomg.com|www.wowomg.com".

[Hicksatpd]

Are you sure about that? On the page you enter this stuff in to, it specifically says that domains are to be entered as 'mydomain.com|www.mydomain.com', while a redirect URL is to be like this: 'http://www.mydomain.com'

So either you told this fellow backwards, or the directions need to be fixed. No biggie, but as someone who has just installed this and is in the middle of adding my own URLs this presented confusion to me. :)

[Hicksatpd]

I went ahead and tried entering BOTH fields with the mydomain.com | www.mydomain.com format and it immediately treated everyone like a proxy user. Needless to say I have it disabled until I can get clarification. Thanks!

[weedheaven]

same is happening to me. else it wont work

[isosdcftp]

Wow, you are totally right :(
I must have not been paying enough attention, sorry weedheaven and Hicksatpd. :o

It seems as if the plugin was configured correctly. I really have no idea why it wouldn't be working with those settings. :confused:

If you guys still want to use it, pm me and I will gladly take a look at your site's source while it is enabled. That will tell me whats wrong.

[Busterking]

Works great.

With the proxy I can view your homepage but can't access your forums, I get the message then re-directed to google.

All is ok when I use my own IP.

Your set to go!

:up:

[st1905]

This is awesome, thank you so much.

====================

I got the same Javascript error as well not only from Safari but also when I tried to log on from my mobile (cell phone) with a standard web browser. I'm getting a lot of problems with trolls on my board who constantly try to outwit the mods by coming in from free proxys, this mod would be invaluable for me(and many others) if these issues can be resolved. I'm not installing it at the moment since I can't exclude users from those browsers.

Really looking forward to updates.

[ShawneyJ]

sweet hack i love it :)

[Silver Boy]

thanks isosdcftp (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=183437)

~BUG FOUND~

i have had zoints installed for months without any problems but now starting from an hour ago when i click on a members profile it says:

"Sorry, you must have javascript enabled to view this site".

i disabled Web Proxy Redirector and now zoints works fine.

Hope you can fix this soon as i love this product.

[ArjanU]

It didn't work ok. When i enable this tool ALL the members see the message en redirect to another page, included myself... and i don't use a proxy... :confused:

[Mrdby]

Uninstall

[MThornback]

It didn't work ok. When i enable this tool ALL the members see the message en redirect to another page, included myself... and i don't use a proxy... :confused:

[ParsianSat_Net]

Thanks a lot
Installed for ParsianSat.Net
But only web proxy redirector or vpn is redirector?

[Shizuku]

Im one person who's forum users are redirected if the hack is enabled. We are in dire need of a proxy detecting hack like this (trolls a plenty) but we are all redirected.

I entered the forum's domain correctly and i entered a redirection website.

Hope you are going to post an update soon (^^)

[midwestce]

I'll admit, I'm relatively new with vBulletin, so installing plugins and what not is a learning thing. Anyways, could someone give a decent step-by-step to install this? i.e. where I need to edit the data and what I need to do within the admin control panel.

Thanks a bunch!!

EDIT: I figured it out... I was lacking on sleep. *hits self in forehead*

[dan325ci]

I have this hack installed, however, noticed that the search engines such as Google has the description of each thread as:

"Sorry, you must have javascript enabled to view this site. Proxies are NOT allowed!...."

Is this going to be a problem with SEO?

Can anyone comment?

Thanks.

[dutchbb]

Holy sh*t I just checked our cached pages in Google and they are completely blank! Is this because of the problem mentioned in the post above?

*Clicks uninstall until this is cleared up*

[dutchbb]

OMG it's true, Google caches the java page and the redirect.

People need to uninstall this hack asap it does mess up the SEO...

[ShawneyJ]

I Install this hack today and functioned perfectly to block the trolls with proxy connections :D, but if it breaks the SEO will have to uninstall. :(

Bye

[maidos]

Not compatible with Safari
does it mean every use who have safari cant visit my site

[tbrown7552]

i installed this and it redirects everyone and says they are using a proxy and redirects.

[unforsaken]

I have a problem where it does not detect the proxy and it allows everyone to view the site regardless of where they are from...

[Megatr0n]

It clashes with Zoints Profiles too.

[jambo310]

I lolve this hack idea but it redirrects 99% of my non proxy users including me. So do you think you can fix this or tell me some code to edit to fix it.

[Tulsa]

I would think since the last time the author was on line was in September and the last update to it was in May, it's pretty much a forgotten and dead mod...

[jambo310]

oh no that sucks do you know any other hacks like this but that actually function well?

[ShawneyJ]

oh no that sucks do you know any other hacks like this but that actually function well?

na sorry mate. pitty about this hack it was good lol.

[Fat__Hunter]

Not bad, i like it :D
1 flaw is that sometimes it blocks people that arent using a proxy.

[Lois215]

OMG it's true, Google caches the java page and the redirect.

People need to uninstall this hack asap it does mess up the SEO...

For me, my board is a private one that only registered and approved members may read, so this doesn't bother me at all. Therefore I don't want search engines browsing the board and they can't.

So far this is working on a new install of vBulletin. Will see what happens when it is reopened for all members.

I wish I'd had something like this several years back when I had a year long problem with someone using masks to wrongfully access the board.

[360junkie]

umm all of use go to the url that i put in not just proxys me 2

[nothing4me]

By the way... This block search bots such as Google. So don't bother installing. :p

[scan-pa]

By the way... This block search bots such as Google. So don't bother installing. :p

Not on my site it doesn't. Works as listed, and still have 400 spider bots on my site at any given time.

[nothing4me]

Not on my site it doesn't. Works as listed, and still have 400 spider bots on my site at any given time.Hm. Sorry, I think they updated this mod?

[Pete C]

Not on my site it doesn't. Works as listed, and still have 400 spider bots on my site at any given time.

scan-pa, I just visited your site using a web proxy and I was not redirected. I had access to your portal and forum pages. Have you disabled this hack after all?

I installed it and it seemed to be working fine - I was redirected to a page I created when using a proxy, and I had access to my site using my regular IP.

However, I'm not willing to screw up access by Google etc (adsense is money LOL). Rather than take that chance I've disabled the hack, although I can't honestly see a problem with it.

Any more feedback here? I must have looked through a dozen pages of comments and people seem about 50/50 as to whether this works as it should.

[Robbey]

I set this up on my site, So if they come in with a proxy, I will be redirecting them to the regular site.

I dont think spiders would have trouble.. why would they?

[Pete C]

Well I hope your "regular site" isn't the one that was mentioned before the edit LMAO. Lucky for me I'd already heard of it, so no chance of going there!

Anyways, it does seem the hack was updated to take account of spiders - they do seem able to index my site. Unfortunately it appears to redirect all AOL users and I think there's a few other providers that use proxies as a matter of course.

Personally I think this hack is a great idea, and it's the providers who use proxies that suck. If this could be set up only to catch people who use proxies by choice, then it would get a MOTM nomination from me! Sadly, isosdcftp who released this hasn't been online here since last October, so unless anyone else can establish exactly what it redirects and what it doesn't, then it isn't worth the risk of alienating the few genuine people who may have no choice but to accept a proxy IP from their service provider.

Back to the bad old days of checking proxy listings whenever a new member signs up I guess. :erm:

[Pete C]

I've re-enabled this and (so far) it seems to working as intended (now marked as Installed). It redirects web proxies, but none of my members has reported any problems. The site is still being indexed, and my Google Adsense appears unaffected. (I'm still using 3.6.5 btw).

I found I only have to check or uncheck the plug-in to enable or disable it.

[MetalAges]

I have this going after being trolled relentlessly of late, and so far so good. It's really creating a decent amount of work for the troublemakers trying to get in.

[nightbloom]

I never had any trouble with this hack till today, one guy cannot use the site. Its frustrating because I have to dump an otherwise great hack.... *sigh* It should have an "ignore IP" or something to let certain ppl in.

[Pete C]

I never had any trouble with this hack till today, one guy cannot use the site . . .

nightbloom : Out of interest, is it that you have one member who wishes to access your site via a proxy, or is that another service/IP provider is being blocked?

I ask because I've had no negative feedback (so far). The modification is catching web proxies, but I've had no reports of redirection from anyone using a genuine IP address. Although it blocks web proxies from using the site it doesn't prevent them sending Email if there's a problem with a genuine account.

If a regular IP service is being blocked, would you mind telling me/us which it is?

[KMDPEPSI]

I dont know if this has been pointed out or not, I installed this worked nicely ez to install and everything. I checked a bunch of proxy sites and it works great. However if someone is searching for your website on google or stumbles upon an interesting post and wants to enter your site through google or any other search engine, it stopes them from viewing it saying proxies are not allowed on this site.... So i uninstalled it for that reason alone. Otherwise a great mod despite it blocking "honest" users using search engines and wherever else your site is linked.

hope that made sense :/

[JKatz]

LOL, this mod rocks! Thank you!

[JKatz]

LOL, this mod rocks! Thank you!

Sorry to report, that didn't last long. On a small board with only 208 members, I didn't make it from 2am until 6:30am before it redirected a legit member not using a proxy. I had to disable it.

I'm so disappointed.:(

[April7]

Awesome thank you !!!!!It's brillant. :D

[TroyTrojansFan]

In the admincp, do I just put something like:

mydomain.com|www.mydomain.com

Do I need to put anything else in there??

[thestaton]

Any chance of this being ported to 3.7?

[Pete C]

Any chance of this being ported to 3.7?

I'm using this with 3.7.1 and it seems to be working in the same way as it did on 3.6 before I upgraded. I'm still making a few changes to my board, so it's currently closed - but please feel free to try accessing with a web proxy. I've tried several and it redirects every time, but genuine IP's don't seem to have any probs and the spiders are still crawling ;)

[Phornixx]

Not working with Safari users, it says javascript should be enabled. Is there any other mod to block proxy users?

[Pete C]

Not working with Safari users, it says javascript should be enabled. Is there any other mod to block proxy users?

It's more likely to be the web proxy than the browser, some of them strip the scripts, and some let you choose. Try this one and uncheck the No Scripts box: http://www.guardster.com/subscription/proxy_free.php

Either way, you can't view with the web proxy whether it enables javascript or not. If javascript isn't enabled it stops the redirect though, which is unfortunate because people don't realise why they're being blocked - but then, if they're hiding behind proxies, who cares?

If you read the original post made with this release, it states clearly that it's not compatible with Safari. Having said that, Safari is certainly a fast browser and its users are increasing. Obviously no-one wants to alienate people who use popular browsers, so unless further support/upgrades are offered for this hack, it could be on it's way to the graveyard. I'll be keeping an eye on my visitor configurations - this one may be heading for the bin if Safari continues to grow in popularity.

Thanks for the replys mate.

[SNATCH3R]

Works like a charm....i tested with most proxy sites.....

[FRANKTHETANK 2]

what do i do wean i get this.

"Warning: Web Proxy Redirector is not correctly configured, and is therefore disabled"

[kiwivc]

Installed on 3.6.8 PL2 and appeared to work well. Unfortunately it does not stop traffic from Beijing HeJu ShuZi Telecom Engineering Co.Ltd., No7 dongsanhuan Zhong Lu, chaoyang District beijing. Also this mod interferes with my 'quick reply' and 'multi quote'. If I disable this mod then both my quick reply and multi quote buttons work. I may have to uninstall :(

EDIT: I've left it installed but disabled.

[xxalexkimxx]

Very nice mod...Loving it!

[xxalexkimxx]

I not sure if this is true or not because since I install this Mods I started to lose the search from google and other searching site: yahoo or msn.com
My site was pretty good at the very specific keywords and will be on the first list when you search it. Now after a few days it's all gone from the search. I think it's because google robots and others are using proxy to crawl the site. So I wouldn't use this mod!

But it's very nice and useful mod for others, it would be useful for others, but just not for me hehe
Thank you I still love your mod.

Thank you for pointing this out...I have the same too, and I saw this post after I posted the same problems...
It's because google robots and others are using proxy, so this is proxy block! Now I feel so sad about losing all this search :(((

[GreigScott]

I'm a idiot, I tested it on a proxy, now I've banned myself. seriously, i'm a idiot. LOL, I would of used but i had to uninstall (N).

[Aspergillus]

Dear m8's,

This is a very nice Add-on.

As i did not want this to affect visitors and search engine bots i changed the code of the plugin a little bit


global $vbphrase, $vbulletin;

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
Rest of the Code
}

So it will affect logged in users only.

Next step is:
Redirect Users to a php script of my own wich logs the attempt..
with username and proxy ip and then redirects the user to google.

So It will affects only loged in users that try to use webproxy.. and even tells me what user it was.

Great Stuff Thank you!

Edit: you say Safari not supported.. At least with Safari for Windows it works fine.

Dear m8's,

This is a very nice Add-on.

As i did not want this to affect visitors and search engine bots i changed the code of the plugin a little bit


global $vbphrase, $vbulletin;

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{

I would be interested in seeing your code you use to log the username proxy and IP...

Does anyone know how to edit the plugin so it's only invoked on the registration page? I tried moving it to the register_start hook to no avail. Thanks
