Use real ip when proxy server is detected.
 

This hack makes the forum always use the members real ip when a proxy is detected, meaning that all existing ip functions should continue to work, basically ignoring the proxy server (other than recording it's presence).

i.e.

* The real ip (or host) is displayed in the who's online page.
* The real and proxy server ip's are accesible for each post, the button is red for members using a proxy server.
* The real ip is searchable in the admin/mod cp (but not the proxy ip).
* The real ip can be banned by admins.

etc etc ......

Obviously this hack relies on the proxy server passing the correct http variables to allow detection. This hack is packaged as a vBulletin product.

Great mod. Thanx

yeah !!! really useful!!!

*install!!*

this is probally a stupid question!!!

screens? if there are any

what about eliete anon, proxies

There is not really much to show in a screen shot, I'm sure you know what an ip address looks like. Obviously anon proxies do not pass on the http variables, so no, you won't detect them (which is why they called anonymous proxies .......)

I have it instaled with no errors...but how do I know this is working. I don;t see the red icons showing up anywhere on my board. For example AOL uses proxies so wouldn;t the red icon show up for an AOL user?

Sadly, No. AOL use proxies that don't pass on the originating IP (which is very poor and annoying, but what do you expect from such a crap company) so they are not detected as such. I don't know what non uk ISP's use them as we are uk based - I believe shaw cable do.

Why do you think there lossing a customer at the end of the year. ;)

Now bassicly if this traces a proxie the red IP icon atached in the zip file will show up instead of the regular one...right?

Correct (obviously this only applies to posts since the hack was installed).

Thanks and one final question..will the icon take affect on ALL my skins seeing as some refer to diffrent directories for buttons?
