Use real ip when proxy server is detected. [Archive]

Paul M

08-27-2005, 10:00 PM

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This hack makes the forum always use the members real ip when a proxy is detected, meaning that all existing ip functions should continue to work, basically ignoring the proxy server (other than recording it's presence).

i.e.

* The real ip (or host) is displayed in the who's online page.
* The real and proxy server ip's are accesible for each post, the button is red for members using a proxy server.
* The real ip is searchable in the admin/mod cp (but not the proxy ip).
* The real ip can be banned by admins.

etc etc ......

Obviously this hack relies on the proxy server passing the correct http variables to allow detection. This hack is packaged as a vBulletin product.

History:

v2.12 : Template fix for px.gif.
v2.13 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

what about eliete anon, proxies

Paul M

There is not really much to show in a screen shot, I'm sure you know what an ip address looks like. Obviously anon proxies do not pass on the http variables, so no, you won't detect them (which is why they called anonymous proxies .......)

I have it instaled with no errors...but how do I know this is working. I don;t see the red icons showing up anywhere on my board. For example AOL uses proxies so wouldn;t the red icon show up for an AOL user?Sadly, No. AOL use proxies that don't pass on the originating IP (which is very poor and annoying, but what do you expect from such a crap company) so they are not detected as such. I don't know what non uk ISP's use them as we are uk based - I believe shaw cable do.

Now bassicly if this traces a proxie the red IP icon atached in the zip file will show up instead of the regular one...right?

It is working great but I just discovered one member having as Proxy only PROXYIP displayed. I thought first it was something missing in file edits, but all the other proxy people are displayed correctly - any thoughts >!?That means that PROXYIP was not defined at the time the data was saved, I can't see how that would be possible once it's all installed and working. Is this for all their posts or just a few at the time you installed it - i.e if they post again now, what do you see ?

I used to run this hack on vb3.0.x and it worked great.

Just installed it on my 3.5 and i too get the following, when clicking on the getip link,

Real IP Address : $postinfo[ipaddress]
Real IP Hostname : $postinfo[hostaddress]
Proxy Server IP Address : $postinfo[proxyip]
Proxy Server Hostname : $postinfo[proxyhost]

All fileedits applied to class_core.phpIt's nothing to do with the file edits - it's because your phrase "thread_displayproxyip" is wrong (it's the 3.0.x version).

Edit the phrase and change it to ;
The Real IP Address is: {1} The Proxy Server IP Address is: {2}

I want to generate a link like this below IP Address:

I did it modifying the phrase thread_displayproxyip, and writing:

Isn't proxy detection a standard in vB 3.5?
I thought I saw something like that in the source code of the freshly downloaded package.

EDIT: Yes, it is, and your hack says to replace some of that.
What is the difference between your detection and vB's detection?

EDIT: lol... define('SESSION_IDHASH', md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . IPADDRESS)); // this should *never* change during a session

USER AGENT never change? I don't think so. Both IPADDRESS and USER AGENT can be changed in Opera without restarting the brower :P

Paul M

10-17-2005, 03:34 AM

Isn't proxy detection a standard in vB 3.5?No.

Nowhere in a default vb installation will you be able to see if a person is using a proxy server, or do anything with (or even know) their real ip address.

EDIT: Yes, it is, and your hack says to replace some of that.
What is the difference between your detection and vB's detection?That code (which btw is in all 3.0.x versions as well) attempts to detect the real ip (as ALT_IP) for the session hash, and that's it. It does absolutely nothing else with it whatsoever.

EDIT: lol...

USER AGENT never change? I don't think so. Both IPADDRESS and USER AGENT can be changed in Opera without restarting the brower :PNot really sure what your point is, that's a Jelsoft comment, not mine. I'd like to know how you change your ip address via a browser .......

I understand. And what is the reason you added another constant?

Not really sure what your point is, that's a Jelsoft comment, not mine. I'd like to know how you change your ip address via a browser .......

I know. Lol was directed at Jelsoft; IP can be changed via proxy that is specified within a browser.

Paul;

Thanks for the great hack! Very nice, simple to install and works great on vb 3.5.1.

A few notes:

I noticed, after checking through my steps over and over again, that everything worked great, except for the red icon...which was not appearing. Also yes, I did make sure it was loaded into the correct style/images/button folder and so on.

I noticed that I got a different image/icon, one that was more like a square 'check box'. When choosing 'view image' it was looking for a file called 'ipp.gif'.

Now my custom style, uses an 'ip.gif' and all works well, but the hack some how, was making a call for 'ipp.gif'...which is WEIRD since this is not used anywhere in my custom style.

So, I just simply renamed 'px.gif' to 'ipp.gif' and all works great! The icon is red, I can hover the mouse arrow over the icon and it gives me the 'real ip address'.

Also, I can click on the red icon and I get the correct message:

vBulletin Message

The Real IP Address is: 68.64.155.66
lamrda-cuda2-68-64-155-66.lmdaca.adelphia.net
The Proxy Server IP Address is: 200.219.184.81
200.219.184.81

Btw, here are the details on the proxy that I used to test this function:

Proxy IP Address: 200.219.184.81

Port #: 8080

User/Pass: N/A

I have another mod also installed called 'Log Logins Hack' and it was able to work with your hack and show me the real ip address. FYI, I did test with both anon and non-anon proxies just to make sure.

Thanks again for the sweek hack!

Hope my info is of some assitance.

One final question: Are there any tools at all that show up in AdminCP, when using this hack?

Peace!

Hmm, px.gif used to be called ipp.gif in the old 3.0.x version. Somehow the old name sneaked into the template in the 2.11 update last week. I have fixed that now and uploaded the mended version (2.12). Thanks for reporting it :up:

Actually they work fine together apart from the display aspects in the postbit, if you install this hack, and then disable the product, it will still to the proxy > ip conversion, and use/record the real address, what it won't do is store/use the proxy address.

In fact, I *think* that if you have the latest version of this hack installed and fully active, if you then just manually disable the Proxy to Real IP (2) plugin, they should co-exist nicely.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, as I outlined in my post, they both can co-exist...it's just the UI side that's not totally compatible. However, I'm glad that all I have to do is just disable the 'Proxy to Real IP (2) plugin' instead of the entire hack...which is pretty cool.

Any word on a future update that fixes the UI issue?

If you really want you could edit the ipinfo link into the postbit_proxyip template and turn Plugin 2 back on.

Real ip is the ip you have on the internet, normally provided by your isp. Proxy ip is the ip of any http proxy server you may be routed via (if that proxy passes on the details of you real ip). Real ip is not necessarily the ip of your pc, as you may be on an internal network that uses NAT to access the internet. btw, I have never seen cmd /ip before.

$postinfo[username]'s information stored for post: $postinfo[postid]

This is a neat hack. Installed, but in the threads only half of the posts the gif show up. The rest in the thread have a link that says IP, but everything else works excellent.

I uploaded to specified folder and everything...

Paul M

12-06-2005, 05:45 AM

If you mean the red gif, it only shows on a post that has proxy server details stored.

da420

12-06-2005, 04:56 PM

It shows up on the first half of the posts in the thread. Then it shows a link that says IP. What happens when you click it is you get the IP info and all that. But the icon shows for the first half of the posts only, then it's just the link.

Paul M

12-06-2005, 09:15 PM

Sorry I don't really understand, perhaps you can post a screenshot.

da420

12-06-2005, 09:33 PM

OK. The little IP icon shows up on the first half of the posts in a thread. After the first half of the posts it's just a text hyperlink that says IP instead of the icon. So if a thread has 20 posts, the first 10 posts show up with the icon, the next 10 posts are the hyperlink that says IP, if a thread has 4 posts the first 2 posts are the icons, and the other 2 posts are hyperlinks that say IP.

If you still need a screenshot I will get a couple up when I get home.

Thanks.

Paul M

12-06-2005, 09:43 PM

Is this the standard ip icon you mean ? are the others looking for the new icon (for proxy posts). It sounds possibly like you don't have px.gif in the right place (because you are using a custom style maybe ?)

Paul M

You cannot change old posts, other than to edit the database itself.

You could try running something like this ;

update post set proxip = '' where proxyip = 'PROXYIP' ;

Don't do this unless you are sure you know what you are doing, and have a backup.

12-23-2005, 11:45 PM

If a user is using a proxy, the Proxy IP is what is shown, especially for guests lurking.Erm, no it isn't, if a real ip is detected, then it is shown. Try reading the description .....

This hack makes the forum always use the members real ip when a proxy is detected, meaning that all existing ip functions should continue to work, basically ignoring the proxy server (other than recording it's presence).

i.e.

* The real ip (or host) is displayed in the who's online page.

* The real and proxy server ip's are accesible for each post, the button is red for members using a proxy server.

* The real ip is searchable in the admin/mod cp (but not the proxy ip).

* The real ip can be banned by admins.

etc etc ......

Paul M

12-28-2005, 11:40 AM

Whatever that Guest is - it is (incorrectly) passing on 127.0.0.1 as it's "real" address, so the hack is (correctly) displaying it. There is a setting to tell the hack to ignore any real ip's that are in the private ranges (such as this one) - but you need to edit this setting in the hack code itself ;

in class_core.php find ;

$ignoreprivate = false; // Set to true to ignore private 'real' ip's //
and change it to ;

$ignoreprivate = true; // Set to true to ignore private 'real' ip's //

Paul...
There isn't a big difference between default fetch_alt_ip and yours.
Except yours never returns REMOTE_ADDR as alt_ip. But that's just one line of code, yet you change the whole function... why?

All you need to do is change:
$alt_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
to
$alt_ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED'];
Tell me if I am wrong. ;)

Secondly, what's the need for defining PROXYIP? There is a constant ALT_IP, why not use that?

Interstinly enough, vB does not use ALT_IP at all ;)

I would do it like this:

Paul M

12-31-2005, 04:20 PM

You're free to do what you want on your forum. ;)

If you check back, you will find that this evolved from another hack and was (I think) the first thing I did for vb [for 3.0.x] and while it may not be exactly how I would do it now, I'm happy with it as is - and see no reason to make wholesale changes now :)

The Real IP Address is: {1} The Proxy Server IP Address is: {2}

All changes were made and double checked in class_core.

Confirmed that I installed the xml.

This is what reports on the page after clicking the IP icon:

$postinfo[username] (http://www.lincolnparkforums.com/member.php?userid=$postinfo[userid])'s information stored for post (http://www.lincolnparkforums.com/showpost.php?p=$postinfo[postid]): $postinfo[postid]

IP Address : $postinfo[ipaddress].
Host Address : $postinfo[hostaddress].
Alt IP Address : $postinfo[altip].
Alt Host Address : $postinfo[althostaddress].
User Agent : $postinfo[useragent].

Somehow I managed to mess this up but cannot find where because I confirmed all changes.

Please advise and thanks in advance.

^^ thats a proxy

His REAL I.P. is

The IP Address is: 66.**.***.**. The host name is: cpe-66-**-***-**.hawaii.res.rr.com

Then I checked my i.p. addy & it looked like this

The IP Address is: 70.**.***.***. The host name is: ontario-ca-cuda3-70-**-***-***.ontrca.adelphia.net.

So why are proxy's showing up how they do & not telling me what his true I.P. really was? Am I looking in the wrong plcae cause all im doing is clicking the i.p. address icon in the users post.

Obviously this hack relies on the proxy server passing the correct http variables to allow detection. Miracles cannot be performed I'm afraid. :)

Paul - can this work with the ip-extra info hack? ;)
j/k :D

Hmm, px.gif used to be called ipp.gif in the old 3.0.x version. Somehow the old name sneaked into the template in the 2.11 update last week. I have fixed that now and uploaded the mended version (2.12). Thanks for reporting it :up:

No, this does not make any alterations to the ACP.

no to be ned-nitpicky, but the version I D/L'd today had 2.11 in the instructions :)

No they dont work with each other, I installed ip extra info then this proxy tool and the proxy tool was over taking the ip extra info page (the ip extra info page was gone and the proxy tool page was showing up)

Quick question, will the px.gif turn red on proxies that were posted before this was installed, or will it begin working on new proxies when they are posted?

Never mind, post#9 answered that question.

Stanley Steamer

03-07-2006, 02:13 PM

I just had a new member post and it says, "Could Not Resolve Hostname" when I checked his IP.
Doesn't that mean the person is using a proxy?
The IP icon didn't turn red.
I up loaded the gif to my images/buttons folder and made all the changes in the class core.php file at my host and uploaded the xml file to my forum just as the directions said.

This is how the code appears in my product editor.

$db->hide_errors();
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post ADD proxyip

VARCHAR(20) not null AFTER ipaddress");
$db->show_errors();

No, it means what it says - there is no hostname associated with the ip address.

Stanley Steamer

03-08-2006, 01:54 AM

If someone posts with a proxy, will the IP icon remain red even after they have logged out?
And if a regular registered member posts with a proxy IP, will it show his real IP and not change the IP icon?

One little teeny request...
As i am just coding a board in 6 languages..
if you place the px.gif in the buttons folder..
it has to be copied in each style.. AND in each language button folder..

any other folder would be great :rolleyes:
otherwise.. excellent!

hey mate, I read back a couple of pages and couldn't see this being asked... but I am running the Whois IP Output hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114602

This changes the IP address in whosonline to display a link, which goes to a whois database to find out information of the uses...

This hack changes the IP address in whos online right? Do we know if these are compatible? Or will showing the Real IP not find a relating link in Whois?

Hi Paul, Just gone through the edits again and they look spot on to me m8??Have you actually uploaded the edited file and reset any php cache ?

Sorry, but if you have done it right, it's impossible to get what are seeing - PROXYIP is a constant, defined at the same time as IPADDRESS and ALT_IP - it only has the value of 'PROXYIP' if it hasn't been defined, and if you look at the code you will see it's defined by an IF/ELSE, so it always has a value of some sort (and since the same code defines ipaddress and alt_ip, they cannot have values, but proxyip not be set).

bashy

05-07-2006, 04:02 PM

Hi m8

I really dont know...i used this hack before and it worked well, since the server move, i upgraded to 3.5.4 and had to install this again but this time round i get the error.... The edited files is deffo on the server...

I aint even sure about posting it on here as its quite a delicate file aint it?

Paul M

You are not allowed to post the file. :) Are you using APC or some other php cache ?

You could always send me ftp details, I have a few spare minutes atm.

Paul M

There is nothing wrong now - but a quick scan of posts shows that you obviously had done something wrong, and that you fixed it yourself approximately four hours ago. It worked fine up until April 4th, then nothing at all (not installed) until April 29th (when I assume you installed it again) From April 29th until about 4 hours ago it was not working correctly, it then got fixed and is now working correctly. :)

Paul M

05-07-2006, 05:48 PM

As I just explained to you above, you broke it between April 29th and a few hours ago - that information is fixed, it won't change now it's working properly, only new posts (after the fix) will be correct. :)

David Copeland

06-05-2006, 09:13 PM

AOL doesn't pass on the proper information, so you can't ban an AOL member using this mod.

You can just ban them by IP address which will work as effectively as for any other dynamic IP address. i.e. not very well and you might end up banning innocent people.

The problem I have with even looking at an AOL IP address, is that all their IP addresses come out of their Arlington, Virgina site which makes it useless to determine which city the AOL member is connecting from.

Replace with ;

isnt in the class_core.php for 3.5.4

neither is
Find ;

// define session constants
define('SESSION_IDHASH', md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . $registry->alt_ip)); // this should *never* change during a session
define('SESSION_HOST', substr($registry->ipaddress, 0, 15));

Perhaps this hack already works with vb3.6 beta, but when I was looking for the text to replace in class_core.php the text to be replaced wasn't matching up with the readme file, although it was very close but I just didn't want to risk erasing and replacing the wrong code.

I am however, getting an error that I'm wondering if you can shed some light on?

I get these emailed to me every so often.
Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

It looks like they are only stating that theirs a duplicate entry, but I'm not completely sure. That and they are somewhat annoying.

Any idea? TIA
