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/.

subdomains need to be set in the domains setting.
For example: mydomain.com|www.mydomain.com|forums.mydomain.com

The subdomain forums.mydomain.com needs to be added there.

Here's a temporary fix for you to use in Safari. Using the debug menu, change the user agent to MAC MSIE 5.22. You can use Netscape 4.79 as well but not all of the java features are available.

Type the following command in Terminal (while Safari is NOT running):

% defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Then relaunch Safari.

The debug menu has some useful options on it, so you may find this a very useful hack. If you ever wish to disable it again, just repeat the command with a "0" instead of a "1".

Having this issue as well.

[version2]

Also happening with Konqueror browser, but changing the browser identity doesn't help on that one. Any way I can work around this via javascript? Maybe check for those specific browsers?

Konqueror? Never heard of that one. Its a javascript issue seems as Safari doesnt like playing nice with Java.... Anyone having issues please post your configurations so we can check them out. Seeing how this is beta we are suggestion those with safari be aware this will not work.

[Tulsa]

It can work with Safari. I already posted how the Safari users could make that happen, just not under it's default configuration.

[isosdcftp]

I'm going to release a fix for the safari issue later today. I need to play with the javascript code a little.

Installed on my live board, I know bad bad bad. In any case, it works great.
