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.

Disable it from the config then check permissions
Redirect blank = No
In the Proxy Alert: Permissions add the groups you dont want to see the alerts. I put all member groups in there only left out groups 1, 3, 4 and 8

Fix (I thought) all of the settings. But, if I have it set to yes on globally, still getting blank page.

Post screenshot of all settings

That is pretty much how I have it set, except if I set it on, it blocks out one of my Super Mods, and they are not behind any Proxy. So, that is why I have their IP in there. Plus...set like you posted, I get a blank screen, and everyone does.

Oh well, pretty much looks like I can't use it. At least it wasn't expensive.

Thank you so much for your help.

Oh...hmmm would any other Proxy hack be interfering? I do have another one it.....Proxy to Real IP.

[ForceHSS]

You could have another plugin causing a problem with it don't just disable the one you think is messing with it remove it fully

[Kat-2]

I tried it all, and it doesn't seem to matter. If I set it globally, I get the blank page. Guess this one is not for me.

Yes, the first one in the long list of settings. Under General.
