Proxy to Real IP Conversion · **Released**: 07-01-2006

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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 ......

Note: Obviously this hack relies on the proxy server passing the correct http variables to allow detection.

If a proxy is detected, then a red ip icon is displayed instead of the standard one. This mod will also detect if the ipinfo hack is installed and adjust itself to call the ipinfo code.

History:

v2.20 : Updated for vb 3.6. IP Info detection added.
v2.21 : Dependancies updated for 3.6.0 Gold.
v2.22 : Updated for Version Checking.
v2.23 : Fixed bug causing wrong ip in WOL display.
v2.24 : Rewritten slightly to fix a minor issue with spiders.
v2.25 : Updated for changes in vB 3.6.4.

Remember that this modification involves changes to the class_core.php file - if you upgrade your vbulletin, you must reapply those changes.

Please do not post asking why this does not work with some proxy servers, the answer is already in the notes above, and also in Post #160.

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!

D'oh! I didn't see that, I think I must need new eyes.

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.

Quote:

The Real IP Address is: 62.252.128.16
renf-cache-2.server.ntli.net
The Proxy Server IP Address is: PROXYIP

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?

Paul M · #**246** 01-20-2007, 05:36 PM

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
