Board Optimization - Proxy Alert

FORMALLY KNOWN AS TOR ALERT! PROXY ALERT TAKES CONTROL OF YOUR FORUMS WITH THE NEXT LEVEL OF PROTECTION! 3.8 VERSION HERE.

I've searched high and low for a modification that can detect Tor or proxy users. Personally I've had one too many banned members just create another identity and troll about. Now let proxies and TOR... Give you problems NO MOR! Now when those pesky proxy and Tor users visit your site, you can block them and redirect them to a custom error message!

You can also alert your members that proxies and Tor is not a nice thing to use! You can customize the message and it also allows to be closed.

I'll add a whitelist, this probably has to do with the lan detection.

can you email me the new updated pro version them

I'm sorry you feel that way, I have been replying to all that have been emailing me, but perhaps you hit my spam folder and I did not receive your email. I will gladly issue a refund, sorry for any inconveniences.

I sent out an email about a week ago for an update. Are you sure you don't have me marked as spam? I will resend it out just in case it was an issue on my side.

Edit: Also I have set aside time to work on the premium version today, will be bringing allow/disallow bots to this future version, but are there any other features you would like to see while I am working on this feature today?

[ForceHSS]

Got the email a few hrs ago but not a week ago

New update seems awesome, I'll be installing it soon.

I'd like to request VPN blocking mode in the next update (and a VPN whitelist for specific hosts).

Port 1701 and 1723 are used for PPTP if I remember correctly, not sure what ports OpenVPN uses.

I am trying your mod on my test server and it worked pretty well when I tried to access from the TOR browser.
I just noticed one thing:
I have the option "Would you like to block registration from proxies?" enabled and when I try to register via the TOR browser I can enter day of birth but when going to the next step I get this error:

Could not find phrase 'proxy_alert_registration'.

Thanks for any help
