Probably a question asked many times but how do we know which IP is the correct one to ban?

When we look at who's online it shows one, then when we hit the IP to resolve it, it shows a different number. So which one is the person's true IP that we can ban?

When you view who's online you see their IP address, when you click on it, vb does a reverse dns lookup to resolve the ip address to a hostname. A hostname is not an ip address (allthough it can sometimes look like one). Also if no rdns exists, the ip address will be displayed again. [This is all standard vbulletin functionality btw]

Again, not what I was looking for. At times it lists a text name of something like the type of service they are using. Other times it lists the same number amidst text.

The issue is how do we know which is the real IP address to ban?

For example, I see one now on the who's online screen, most likely a proxy server considering it says

.....atc.proxy.aol.com

That seems pretty obvious.

Now the IP shown at who's online is not the one shown in the Admin CP under the IP under there user profile there.

So again which one is the correct one to ban?

If you're not sure ban both, as that is what I do.

This mod is great although it desperately needs and update. :(

The ip address in their profile is (was) their ipaddress when they registered (that could be years ago depending on how long they have been a member). The ip address in WOL is their current ip address. The sensible thing to do would be to ban their current ipaddress.

Does anyone know if this provides any value for AOL users? Users who connect via the AOL client?

Or does anyone have any threads they can point me towards when it comes to singling out users who connect through AOL?

Thx

As I recall, AOL proxies do not pass on the required information.

Don't know. I get a en error on line 2216 of class_core.php, even after reviewing each line of code. Something related to class vBRegistry.
