I thought brilliant it works then i then tried another 10 proxy websites and out of them ten i could view my forum on 6 of the proxy sites.So does this plugin only work on a select few proxy sites

These are my settings in admin cp below are they correct

It looks like i am going to have to disable this unless anyone can help

This is the first message i got fro a member

Hi Guys,
My regular computer and tablet cannot log in. Its says I'm using a
proxy but I don't use one, my only connection is wi-fi


This is another message below

hi this is mojo,

I had similar problems with the pro version too and too had to disable for now on my forum due to member complaints.

I'm not sure what else to try to try and get in contact with the author. I posted here and sent them a PM here but as yet have not received a response.

Do let me know if you have any luck getting in touch with them and I'll of course return that favour.

the one 05-19-2015 10:13 AM

I will let you know and i have also sent a pm and email to the author

I didn't mind paying for this, it was only 10$,But i am a bit upset that i have had to disable it straight away.

It does not do exactly what it says but i guess thats the gamble

If you go over all settings you can stop this picking up member groups so it only works with guests so if he sees it as a guest once he logins he won't get the proxy message

Generally many countries allow LAN Proxy through Network service provider. The services are being provided through a proxy. I disabled just the LAN Proxy and things seems to be normal.

The thing is though the biggest thing I'm trying to use this mod for is to scan non logged in members/guests to try and stop hacking activity so I have it set to scan members and non-members. What you suggest might be a workaround if the members concerned still have a forum cookie on their PCs with their login credentials in.


Do you know if there's anyway to get in touch with the developer of this mod? Does he provide support to those that have purchased the pro version?

Sorry, there hasn't been many suggestions or posts in this topic in awhile so I haven't been actively following it, but that is a wonderful idea to scan non members and post alerts. I do still plan on bringing a logging system to this plugin, but haven't had the time. With this new plugin I had an idea for and have started working on, I could actually port the logging system from it over and have that as well, so that you can just monitor everything, members or non members.

I have had a couple of my forum members complain that they can't connect to the forum as they are being flagged as using a proxy. Checking out their IPs they are using either US cable company or ATT cell/mobile internet connections. I did think about whitelisting the IP ranges associated with those companies but the Whitelist function in the Proxy Alert section of the ACP does not allow ranges to be input using CIDR notation and so it would entail listing approx 75,000 odd IPs for each company to cover all 3 of the ranges.

Please would you be able to suggest a better solution?

I did check to see whether I have the most current version of Proxy Alert Pro through the link in my purchase e-mail and it looks like I already have the most current version of 1.93?

I thought I implemented ip ranges, but I will take a look into this.

I would recommend only using TOR detection if you want to block any members as proxy and web proxy detection could be falsely triggered from a non dynamic IP.

Thank you for your assistance in my absence. It appears I am not getting emails from my subscribed threads, I will be reaching out to the vB team in regards to this. In the meantime I will keep an eye on my PMs while I am working to push out my new product, which will aim to prevent spam and possibly multiple account creation.
