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.

Thanks for the reply, sorry for asking a question that had an obvious answer. I am still installing the hack to give it a whirl.

So if a user using anonymous proxy and tries to log on board, he wont be able to, is that what this hack based on ?

I've noticed it displays the same IP twice for both fields. For example, when a proxy is detected is says:

The real IP is: "IP here"
"IP here again"

The proxy IP is: "IP here"
"IP here again"

It displays whatever information it is passed - I have seen proxy servers that do that for some bizarre reason.

I get this when I look at the who's online list: http://img477.imageshack.us/img477/8648/wtfav9.png

If I click one, it says "Unable to resolve IP address". The ips in the posts however are still showing.

I don't see how anything in this mod could cause that.

This one works perfectly for me. I have tested it and have actually used it banning a member who kept finding proxies... It definitely works. The "anon" proxies are unreliable and after a while they simply give up.

I had to add another at the end of the first edit another } otherwise when I tried to upload another product I received errors. Is this a possible mistake on my part or an error in the plugin?

Paul M · #40 08-10-2006, 04:23 AM

I think you need to edit your post as the first bit seems wrong.

There are no errors in the plugins, or the code, so I guess it must have been something else you did.

Thanks Paul, I was hoping you had this for 3.6, and I'm glad to see you do!
