The 3.6 version worked for 3.7, why the need for a 3.7 version?

thanks a lot

Installed and working good. Tks.

May be here is not the right channel for asking this but I'm sure who's using this mod might be interested in that too. Is there a way to block new registers if they are using annonymous proxies ?

Try this hack:

Web Proxy redirector.

Works on vB3.7.0.

Does anyone have a screenshot so I know what to look for to see if the mod is working properly? :)

Oh - believe me - that's a pure waste of time. That module requires that a proxy uses the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR variables which some proxies do, others not.
By reading that variable it's possible to find the real IP but with a Webserver Module - at least for Apache, dunno about others, you can do the same.
Just - point is - just do a Search in your favorite Search Engine for "anonymous proxies" and you'll find a lot of them, most of them are non working. Problem is just that having a blocklist you need to update to add or remove proxies, well, a waste of time.
I just want to say that it's nearly impossible to block all proxies without a false positive and we shouldn't forget that there're still countries in this world which block sites - these people need proxies to bypass any filters to access the web freely.

What works for spam filters in blacklisting dynamic IP's doesn't make sense everywhere else - sorry

Are file changes needed to be done *again* to simply upgrade this module to the latest version?

Paul M 05-25-2008 06:37 PM

If you are referring to the update today then no, just the product xml was updated slightly (to detect the 3.7 version of ipinfo as well).

Chadi 05-25-2008 06:39 PM

Thank you for clarifying.
