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/.

I have users coming from bellsouth.net and they arent able to access because of this MOD. is it because they have javascript turned off (if they do, i dont know) or is this a ISP thats a proxy as well?

Thanks and GREAT HACK!!

this works great, however anyone using IE8 will get through with no problems. Firefox and Chrome both seem to get blocked.

I'm having a few users of my site trying to access the site using cellphones that are getting blocked out. I realize this is suppose to be a java script blocker only and not SOCKS, so I'm not really sure what the deal is and why they are being blocked. All of them have the java system installed on their phones. Any ideas?

+2 would like it to work ONLY on the register page.

Any chance of somebody doing this up for 4.0.x?

I did it similar to Semere79's edit.

PHP Code:

global $vbphrase, $vbulletin;

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'register')
{
