I use Proxy Alert to block TOR users. It works fine in conjunction with this and other mods I have installed to block spammers.

If you have tor on the list it does.

That's why this is a excellent bullet to have in the anti-spam gun. Still another layer.

Yup. They are definitely spoofing the user agent. I was getting a lot of guests with an iPhone or iPod user agent but now they all seem to have an Android 2.2 one. But despite their pitiful attempts to register, they are still being blocked. I've started a little game with one of my mods where we see who can guess what user agent they will try next! :p

Would be great if this would post in a thread instead of PMing admin for the blocks.

TBH, I would just turn off the PM's, once you know the mod is working after sending you some PM's, there is no need for them, you know it is working, so turn them off. :)

Installed with thanks on 4.1.3pl5 for testing, using ossmodz's list of hostnames... :)

Is it better to have Do Whois option ON or OFF?

Regards,
Doug

Thank you .. :)

I've also been trying to locate in "phrases", the text that gets shown...

Can't seem to find it. Is there a phrase I can enter to help locate it?

Regards,
Doug

Edit: also, is their a list of useragents, as in Ozz's hostnames that I could start with?

Is there a phrase that the user who's blocked sees?
