Paul,

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but 16 pages of info and I may have missed it.

Yesterday I had a known problem user sign on with another user name so I banned his IP address in the admincp. I was also viewing who was online page to watch and see what he did next. The next thing I know I see his user name still browsing the forum with no error or stop message. Over where it listed the IP addresses it showed a different IP address.....along with the text below.

"Hide My IP Trial (Purchase At WWW.HIDE-MY-IP.COM To Remove This Message)"

My question for you is, do you think that this mod will bypass or "beat" that type of program?

TIA!

see hack description:

D'oh! I didn't see that, I think I must need new eyes. :o Thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you for answering that question, I found the class_core.php file and made the template changes, however now when I click on the person who shows up with the red proxy ip icon, this is the message I receive. Now I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product, replacing the class_core.php file with the original and starting over with the template edits...did that 4 times, however that is still the message I receive. Can you explain what I might be doing wrong?

There are no template changes to this so I don't know what you are referring to there.

The problem displayed can only occur if you have not correctly edited (and reuploaded) class_core.php

You can add these addresses to you .htaccess file to stop them. The zip also have ip addresses on other well know proxy servers

Hello i install it and i try to post one message via anonymouse.org!

byt the ip its still from anonymouse and no red icon apeard!

Maybe its the way that anonymouse work?

Please see post #160.

This is the best!!!!!! Thanks Paul

I just tried to install did, did all the changes in the class_core for 3.6.4 and I get this:

http://www.belliesbabiesnbeyond.com/...33bc758185.jpg

So it doesn't even let me get to the final stage of importing the produce. :( HELP!

Just a question too..
Is this working when someone is using like a ip hider, like guardster or something like that to keep their real IP showing ???

Forgive me, but where do I actually see the "conversion"?

For example, in thread view I see this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

The 3rd box on right (baby blue color) is the one that shows the IP when you hover over it. If you click it, it shows something like:

The IP Address is: 72.49.146.xxx. The host name is: FL-ESR1-72-49-146-xxx.fuse.net.

(I purposely replaced last digits with xxx)

What am I missing?

Can someone please help?

What are you expecting to happen ?

I want to know where I should see the px.gif button show up basically. Will it be in the same spot of the 3rd blue button (default) I've shown in the picture?

In who is online (current users) list, I do not see anything about IP's but the numbers (no graphics). Is this normal?

Ok...I've tried two proxies and the IP button is still blue but the proxy shows up in hostname if I click the IP button.

I'm curious why the red button is not showing up (px.gif).

Yes, [only] if a Proxy was detected for that post.

Yes.

Can you give me one proxy site that does get detected so I can test it out? I tried underproxy.com and guardster.com They both showed the IP's but the red button did not show up at all.

Also, some awesome ideas that just popped in my mind:

- some sort of proxy blacklist we can add/remove from via admincp
- automatically send email/pm notification if any user logs in via detected proxy
- automatically queue into moderation that same user's posts

So, all in all the red button should show in thread view only. The rest detection is all text (who is online and clicking IP button in threadview)? Please confirm. Thank you

thanks

*installed*

Sorry, I don't know any proxy servers in the US to give you. This was originally written for ntl proxy servers (a UK ISP, now called VirginMedia) - but afaik, you cannot use them unless you are on the VM network.


Correct.

Thanks for your response. So what do you think of my suggestions from my earlier post? :) Just curious.

I have no plans to add anythin else to this mod as it does all I need it to. :)

They also seem designed to discriminate against users of proxy servers, which is not the point of this mod (on the ISP mentioned, usage of them is generally not a choice, it's forced).

Why is the icon always red on my board? And I'm sure not everyone is using a proxy...

I'm using 2.25 in vBulletin 3.6.4

What does it show when you click on it ?

I had that problem before, I think I missed a step.
I uninstalled it, removed everything.
Then re-downloaded the zip. Followed the instructions again and it worked out :)

ok this shows:


Also this hack doesn't work with this other hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117966 (I really like that hack, could you make it so that we can use both? :))

But that one is disabled now so it has nothing to do with this problem.

Will this hack work if a user is using tor?

This is the clue ;

You haven't done the file edits to class_core.php properly (or at all).

Actually I just did them again just now to be sure. Strange. But I'll try to do it again a few times, I'm using a cache script for the php files called eaccelerator maybe that interferes with it.

Do you think the other hack can work together with yours in some way? They are both very usefull to follow problem members. Something for vbulletin to add to the next release imo!

from the main post ...

Ok sorry for not reading that part. Still can't get it to work, well it's probably an error on my site. Thanks anyway, i let you know when it actually works.

I'm having trouble with this.

When I try install the .xml file I get:

I've also tried your 3.5 version in case there was something wrong with my VB 3.6:

What would cause this?

Sorted, Was a problem with my /tmp

Paul,

Great mod (had it for all versions). I have the latest version installed with the latest IP info mod (which are compatible now).

One thing I noticed. There are some posts/users with the red icon. I was under the impression that when clicking the red IP info button it would also show the proxy IP address or some additional info. There is still value in seeing that for me. Is the proxy display disabled when used in combination with the IP info mod? Or am I wrong in thinking it also displays the proxy address? Right now I can't see a difference with this mod installed (other than some red icons). The strange thing is I just installed it and with IPinfo it is claiming 55 posts for some members with their current IP address (that is red). So obviously it is still the old proxy address. Just wondering how I could tell the difference. If I could see the proxy address vs the "real" address I could see if they were the same or different.

Thanks

Because you have ipinfo installed you won't see the display of real and proxy ip - as that display is replaced by ipinfo's display. You cannot have both.

I think there is a compatibility problem with 3.6.5.
Until I removed the modified class_core file, I got this error when trying to access my forums:
At first I just assumed that I'd messed up when modifying the file, but after retrying 3 times and getting the same error, I doubt that.

Working fine on 3.6.5 :|

I'm afraid you must have done something wrong, this works fine on 3.6.5 - in fact, class_core.php has not changed between 364 and 365.

I tried again, and got the same error :(

EDIT:
Could it be some kind of conflict with another mod? The only one I can think of at the moment is the Extra user IP information mod.

Well unless you want to give me ftp access to your forum code there is nothing I can tell you.
