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/.

LOL well I guess thats your confirmation that it is working correctly. Dont forget you have to enter a page to redirect the users too or you'll get a blank page. Next release will have this option in the Admin Cp.

This hack works so well Even some of the advanced members are having troubles getting around it...

This is awesome! I was having problems with banned users doing this only yesterday. Definate install! Just a thought though, for the demo, perhaps have it redirect to like google or something rather than your site. freaked me out a bit until i read your post at the bottom of the first page.

otherwise... FANTASTIC, ill vote for ya MOTM

I redirected to google I almost have myself a damn heart attack till I re-read the part about NOT using http:// in the whitelist

Some proxy's out there will get passed it as it stands now but it will be worked on some more. Any more suggestion for the next release?

Are you sure that is caused by this product? Reason I am asking is because the product does not call 'print_portal_output()' anywhere in the code.
