Thanks for this mod.

I have those RBLS:
dnsbl.ahbl.org
proxies.dnsbl.sorbs.net
list.dsbl.org
http.dnsbl.sorbs.net
socks.dnsbl.sorbs.net
misc.dnsbl.sorbs.net
dnsbl.njabl.org

I just checked and tried to register using a proxy (hidemyass.com). A very popular one. I was able to complete registration. Does that mean my RBLs are wrong ? ^^

edit: I got a lot of PMs today. So it seems to be blocking users. However I really wonder why hidemyass.com is not blocked ><

You can add it manually to the known proxies list.

not trying to thread steal but I just finished working on a RBL of known forum spammers. vbStopForumSpam, which does lookups (at registration) from www.stopforumspam.com

I run a small forum and its stopped all the new registrations since I installed it :)

Well, it's all cool and stuff. But, I like the RBL method used here, considering I have a larger forum, and it catches about 8-10 a day with a 99% accuracy rate. There are some false positives, which is due to some of them coming from spam zombies, but you're going to have that anyway. In those cases, we give an alternate method of registration that involves human intervention. New members that are legit do go for that option.

Also, this addon does handle proxies.

I'm hoping we'll see a version for 3.7

Thanks that good to know.

Does anyone have a good list of RBL's and Known Proxies IP's?

Also, further to this post, I recommend moving the hook used for Check IP against RBLs/IPs to register_addmember_complete (and change to execution order 4 if you do this), due to the fact that multiple notifications get sent for every bot that turns up.

It might be useful to duplicate sections of code in both plugins so that blocking is done in the Check IP against RBLs/IPs plugin and notifications are done in Auto-Ban or Flag for Moderation plugin. This would avoid all the unnecessary notifications for bots that never succeed in registering anyway.

Was this idea implemented in the latest version?

None as of yet... I'm in the process of selling my house so time is at a bit of a premium. I hope to have a beta for testing by the end of may... I've built it so its fully customizable.

IP black list/white list...
country blacklist/whitelist...
configure as many RBLs as you want...
configure specific response codes to the RBLs...

Everything is based on weighting... so you set a score you want to block at and then set 'confidence' levels for SCLs... if an IP's score > your threshold then a block/ban/etc. gets fired.

I'm also working on a system where when a forum blocks an IP it get added to a central DB, so everyone can benefit from a site's positive blocks...

Also built in a user-context menu 'ban as spammer' and 'ban as troll'...

The next version will be tested on both 3.6/3.7

Again... sorry for the delay in responding. I admin one forum, volunteer code for a couple of organizations, and lately have been traveling to trade shows for work.

I don't really like coding in dribs and drabs... I'm hoping I can dedicate a week to finishing up a beta for testing this month.

Cheers.
