Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Web Proxy Redirector [BETA]

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/.

Save and Re-upload

Now If you're using Firefox go to Tools --> Options --> Privacy
Click the button that says "Settings". Make sure "Cookies" are ticked and click "OK". Press "OK" again. Close your browser and try going to your site and see if it worked.

For Internet Explorer
Go to Tools --> Internet Options
Click on "Delete Cookies".


Now go into your ACP --> Plugins & Products --> Plugin Manager
Look for "Web Proxy Redirector" (most likely it'll be this one that is causing the problem).

Edit the Plugin named "Web Proxy Redirector" and change "Plugin is Active" to "No".

Edit your 'config.php' file again

Change this

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


To this

PHP Code:

//define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


Save and Re-upload.

But I removed it

Don't know what went wron ... Can't miss much with installing a product ...

Hey, sorry for the delay guys. I'm working on a better version that allows you varying settings of effectiveness and compatibility. Also adding a few more options.

Also, sorry for the late delay leeman. But that is very wierd because this hack should not affect the admin control panel at all. The hook that is called by this product is not used in the admincp.

Uhmmm when i login in to admincp redirects from www.forumname.com/forum/admincp to www.foumname.com/forum/login.php ... www.forumname.com/forum is added to the redirect list ....

But I still had to uninstall it since it redirected everyone and everythin'

Wow, this add-on rocks. Installed (works perfectly so far) and nominated for Mod of the month!

For some reason, when my users go to www.keyhunt.com it works perfect. However, when they just go to keyhunt.com it redirects them ( and me )..anyone know why??

[bigcurt]
