Web Proxy Redirector [BETA] · **Released**: 05-14-2007

Current Version is in BETA

What is it?
This hack was designed to prevent users from using a web based proxy such as http://www.dontfilter.us/ to circumvent a IP address ban. It uses javascript to determine if the current domain matches the forum's domain. If it does not match, then it redirects the user to the website of your choosing. If the proxy strips the javascript code, then the forum will not be visible to the user, and a error message will be shown.

Effectiveness
This has been tested and has blocked at least 90% of all web proxies. Best of all, this hack requires no template hacks. The hack is completely self-contained in the product file.
Phrases are used for the informational messages.

Instructions
Instructions are included in the zip file.

Demonstration
For a demonstration, you may attempt to visit my forum http://www.isosdcftp.com through a web proxy such as http://www.dontfilter.us/.

Ah, you had www.schoolmemories.co.uk configured but not schoolmemories.co.uk.
Make sure to add

Code:

|schoolmemories.co.uk

to the domain configuration.

It is working in Safari now. One odd thing on the redirect screen. Right before it redirects you and it's telling you proxies are not allowed, it's showing the footer of the site.

This is great! Thank you!

Edit:

I just found a problem. It doesn't work with zoints profiles. It says you must have javascript enabled. I hope we can fix this.

Any ideas on that "footer" thing? It's showing that not only in Safari but FF as well.

That would sorta defeat the purpose users arent going to use proxies just to register. But I'm sure you could set it to just that one page for your needs. Iso has a few family matters to attend he will be back in about a week and we should see some updates and new hacks. Please be patient. Thanks everyone

maybe a option to have it on just that page... I have used this to stop my spam bots thats why I was wondering about that. Ill take a look at the code maybe change it around some so it just loads on that page. cause I wouldnt mind if they looked at my site on a proxy but if they try to register i would like to stop them.

That would be a handy option. I'm sure Iso's will take that into consideration once he is back online. And please feel free to edit the code to your needs. If you come up with a change it would be nice if you posted it to share with the rest here. Thanks
