There are like millions of proxies out there. There is no way to detect all of them.

Exactly.
This mod is useless, as it wont detect any actual proxies but just block registration access for everyone using a low-anonymity-proxy sometimes necessary for working within special networks or given to you by some providers.

Then don''t use it. Instead of repeating yourself like a broken record, either find another mod, or create your own. What can I say.

I just wanted to point out that its pretty useless and annoying to have this mod installed since it will only bug legit users and not those using anonym proxies.
Didnt mean to offend you, but... thats just the way it is. Besides, a fsockopen on every page load seems like a really, REALLY bad idea... I mean REALLY bad. And basically youre blocking everyone with port 80 forwarded, which seems like an idea far worse...

Technically there is no real possibility to find out wether a user is using an anonym proxy or not. You'll have to rely on your mods if you have troublemakers coming again and again...

Great thank you ...works even with VB4
INSTALLED

umm, I was in china a few weeks ago...
& I was trying to access my forums through the internet access I had there...

but the modification prevented me.. because apparently I was using a proxy...

what should I do?

tnx mate good job...

I love this plugin, and I made it even a bit more fun for people who think that proxing through other servers is smart:

Edit this code:

Code:

<phpcode><![CDATA[if ($vbulletin->options['no_proxy_enable'])

                {

                if( @fsockopen( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 80, $errstr, $errno, 1 ) || @fsockopen( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 443, $errstr, $errno, 1 ))

        {

                standard_error(fetch_error('no_proxy_message'));

                }

                }]]></phpcode>

                </plugin>

                <plugin active="1" executionorder="5">

                        <title><![CDATA[No Proxy Allowed.]]></title> 

                        <hookname>global_start</hookname>

                        <phpcode><![CDATA[if ($vbulletin->options['no_proxy_allowed_enable'])

                {

                if( @fsockopen( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 80, $errstr, $errno, 1 ) || @fsockopen( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 443, $errstr, $errno, 1 ))

        {

                standard_error(fetch_error('no_proxy_allowed_message'));

                }

                }]]></phpcode>

And where it says:

Code:

 {

                standard_error(fetch_error('no_proxy_message'));

                }

and

Code:

{

                standard_error(fetch_error('no_proxy_allowed_message'));

                }

Replace it with this to forward to any site, page or w/e you want:

Code:

header( 'Location: http://www.yourwebsitehere.com' ) ;

Hope the author doesn't mind me posting this, had some fun with adding this to our use of the plugin. Which I will add is a GREAT blocking for any and all proxy servers, thank you very much for making this!

Sorry, dislike this mod because a lot of problems without using proxy.
I'll keep on working this problem manualy.

Got it, installed it, and it works.

3.8.6

Thanks!
