True. But this mod wasn't designed to block all proxies, or even all open proxies.
It was just designed to block AOL users from using the anonymous proxies provided by AOL.

If you want to block ALL proxies, then you need another mod...
Perhaps these mods could help you...
* Check proxy RBL on new user registration
* DNSBL/Open Proxy-Blocking
* Proxy to Real IP Conversion
* Web Proxy Redirector

Just uninstall, or disable the plugin named "Block AOL Proxy Use" via the plugin manager.

I did not include an admincp setting for it, as it is so simple it doesn't really need one.

Kxml and other editors don't like to open it, because they find an error.

I have no idea what Kxml is. However, it opens fine in notepad, Wordpad, etc.
If you're using Linux, try using a conversion tool.

Alternatively, if you just want the source, send me a PM and I'll send it to you as a PM.

I have no idea, because I don't run 3.7.
However, I see no reason why it shouldn't. It doesn't use any complicated functions.
Give it a try and see if it works. If it does, I'll update the file to make it officially compatible.

Thanks for the answer.
Kxml is an XML editor for KDE and it won't open with an error.
All other editors tell me, this is a binary and it will be corrupt, if it is saved.

It works really great!
Could be too good for me, because my members are older they will have a lot of problems with thsi mod.

AOL members who don't use AOL's anonymous proxies will be unaffected by this mod.

AOL members who don't use AOL's browser or IE will often bypass the proxies entirely.

This is intended! This is what encourages them to stop using proxies and start using their real IPs.

If anyone lets me know the modifications required to make it 3.7 compatible, I will update it.
Presently however I have no plans to develop a 3.7 version myself as I don't use 3.7.

Running 3.6.8 patch 2

Had this product fromt the start, no issues.

This has been slowing down our site the past two to three days. Disabled.

Ack! Sorry, that is my fault. Unnecessary DNS lookups!

Version two of this product (released today!) fixes this issue.
