Some of the edits appear to be in the wrong place (Steps 1 & 2) - and you also seem to have completely deleted the fetch_ip() function.

Sigh, I missed the "Add below" part and deleted fetch_ip.
My bad, thanks for the support and modification, Paul M. Muchly appreciated.

How is this different than the IP function already in place by vbulletin?
example in the first step, where you say to add the code, there is another code which starts with:
is this the same?

Paul before I try this I was wondering if there is anyway to prevent mods from having access to this feature in their modCP. My mods cannot view IP's, only admins.... so I don't even want them to know this is installed.

I will await your reply before installing and thank you.

This doesnt make any difference to the modcp.

okay thank you. so I add this to the header template or headerinclude?

<!-- $Header: d:\cvs/3.8/Proxy-to-real-ip/Proxy-to-real-ip.txt,v 1.1 2008/10/04 19:57:57 pem Exp $ -->

clicks install (but will wait for answer)

Thanks again

You dont do anything with that - just follow the instructions in the text file.

Thanks Paul works great!

OK thank you... I noticed it at the top of the text instructions and thought it must be for something. Thanks Paul

Installed ...

It works if user use transparent proxy

It doesn't work if user use Elite proxy


Better than nothing ... so, thanks :)

Mediawiki has a pretty big list of proxy ip's, idea to import those in this mod so more Ip's are detected as proxy?

thanks! i hope it will work!!!

Nope. The point of this is (was) to extract the real ip if a proxy is detected, having a list of proxy servers isnt going to help with that.

JFYI, I think I have mentioned this before, but this was specifically developed for my forum when the uk ISP Virgin Media (NTL as was) used to use transparent proxy servers. They no longer do this, so this is a bit redundant to me, but I have so far kept it updated. Whether I do that for vb4 I havent decided yet.

Ok, lets say that the user has already been banned and his IP has been banned also. After I install this, the user decides to try to gain access to my board again through a proxy. What I am reading is that the proxy will be detected and the users real IP will surface. If thats the case, then he will not be able to see the board as his original (real) ip was shown and its banned already. Is that how this mod works?

How do you uninstall the hack?

What tables have been added?

Do we just uninstall the product?

Do this, and revert class_core.php

nice :) installed.
thanks.

ps. You should mention that class core is in includes somewhere for the general vB noob

Hello Paul, I was using this in the past, great product, worked great:up:. However after upgrading to 3.8.3, I went in to class_core and couldn't find the line in step 2 to add below now in class_core. And in further investigation they seemed to make several changes to the "detect proxies" section in class_core. Have they implemented these changes of yours and is this product is no longer needed if using 3.8.3? Thanks.

Sadly for the first time of installing a hack I have an irrepairable error. After installing this Hack My Who's online is no longer working, I get a DB error as seen below:
Database error in VBulletin 3.8.2 , It was working fine right before I installed this. I uninstall and revert back to my saved class_core.php file and who's online is still not working any more. Help! Please! I have Thread Thumbnail hack installed but this should not affect who's online.

<i>MySQL server has gone away</i> is a server/mysql error, usually meaning your mysql wait_timeout is too low. Something your host needs to fix.

Class_core has not changed in 3.8.3

I have had the server adjusted, and still i get the DB Error, more info though is that if I am a regular user pulling up online.php it comes up fine because it is not showing the ip addresses. So it has something to do with a db field not being added correctly or not being able to be found when an admin or mod attempts to pull up online.php. I am not to sure of what db field was added and where it was added, I did check my db on the server and do not see any proxy_ip field added to the db in any of the tables. I think that something is wrong here. Can you assist me in understanding what field needs to be added to what table. Thank You!

ok I have fixed the problem Now :D Thank You For this mod, Not sure if it works but time will tell.

You're right Paul, my apologies! It was late and I couldn't find the line in step 2, found it today, haha. Thanks again for this and all your wonderful products!!

Hey Paul, last time I installed this modification it shown the IP icon as red even when the user wasn't behind a proxy. Was this a fault on my behalf, or has this been fixed at all?
Any information would be appreciated.

That happens when you forget to do the file edits.

Paul...

Thanks for this...installed with no issues. Instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. Running this on 3.8.3. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for a great mod!

It only displays the red icons when I disabled the ipinfo hack

Any suggestions?

Smetimes I see:
**********.board.xm.fj.dynamic.163data.com.cn

That is a user with a proxy IP? How can I ban' him , only copy and paste?

This mod does not ban anything.

Thanks Paul Installed

Installed.

I read the info of what it can do and tried 6 proxies and it still shows those proxies and not my IP. So, I guess I use some good proxies..

Did anything change in 3.8.4?
Because I re did the changes to class_core.php in 3.8.4 like I did with every other vb release but this time, every post appears to be from the same proxy.
The Proxy Server IP Address is: PROXYIP
did I do something wrong, or has something changed?

Edit: I spoke to soon, It appears everything is working now.

You did something wrong. Nothing has changed in 3.8.4.

XML Error: Not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 3 on install

That means you have a corrupted xml file.

I have this mod installed on my boards annnnd someone using "anonymouse.org" (I think its a browser program that goes through a proxy or whatever?.. not sure" and it didn't detect his real IP. How do I know he's using a proxy? I IP traced him and yeah, showed me another IP.

I would looooooove this mod, but it does not work for me. I am suppposed to be editing class_core.php in the includes folder correct????? Please advise what i am doing wrong, i have installed and did everything in the directions and see no changes at all.

What change exactly are you expecting to see, that you dont ?
