And how can I test to see if that is not working on my site and with or without the brackets

InsaneManiac,

ProxyAlert is now running for about a week and we had to found out, that we run into some difficulties that are annoying our members, especially those using mobile carriers via phone, tablets or pods.

1. We have in that particular forum a large number of false positives, we had to check manual. Though, by the design of this mod we weren´t able to grant those false identified access to the forums.

2. Most - if not all - mobile providers are using proxies for their customers. ProxyAlert is blocking nearly 80% of all Tapatalk users. Even myself.

Any ideas?

I would just use the Tor blocker.

Thanks for the head up, Richie. That´s exactly what we´ve changed meanwhile, too. But we need the webproxy filter to work, to get rid off our "I am a motherf***in special forces"... trolls.

I hear you but some countries use proxies almost as a default and some isp's will also be flagged that way as will some phone carriers.

In addition many thousands if not more of new proxies are created every day. It is impossible to keep up with them.

Trolls are a pita though!

Anyone an idea hot to make this mod smarter? When I?m using tor I?m not detected.

I'm using the pro version at it blocks all my tor attempts
the free version doesn't block tor browser

I have the pro version and even with a "this.is.a.tor.exit.node.org" -IP I?m not getting caught with my tor. Shall I do a testing with your site ;)?

It works great for me. Instantly purchased pro. Thanks Maniac!

You're welcome, thank you for your feed back. I actually have been using courseware in PHP to freshen my skills more since I been doing freelancing, and I believe I am going to do another overhaul in the next couple of months. Detection for tor has improved, and I feel like reducing conditionals into case arguments to lessen code. I currently work 2 jobs and am freelancing so I work about 70 hours a week now, (trying to save up for a car since I drive a bike to work) so I do plan on working on it in my free time. I currently run a newer version which does integrate into the database, but it's relatively simple with only storing users detected. I will begin to code an AdminCP panel to load those users instead of having to view them in phpmyadmin.

I am looking for a beta tester of the new code, if interested PM me.
