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/.

Javascript debugging got this.

ReferenceError - Can't find variable: proxy
ReferenceError - Can't find variable: showbody

My eyes are blurry what with it being 3am...but I think I see the bug....I'll post what i'm thinking tommorow so I don't mess anyone up if its my eyes playing tricks on me (which is entirely possible )

[MThornback]

No i'm wrong....but to make an uneducated guess there is something wrong with $webproxy_if_condition somewhere....

Yup, I think you're right puerto. BTW, small world huh? Nice to see you here :P

It was working fine on my board. I figured it worked fine on my board, so it'll work fine in others...Bad guess lol

I will revert the javascript code to the earlier version with the new obfuscation technique to fool javascript parsers. I will release it as version 1.2.1 so that people who already have it installed will be notified.

I figured writeln together with html editing techniques would be more compatible than what was used in version 1.0. And to a point that was true, because the proxy redirection technique worked on my windows CE cell phone. But I never figured the javascript variable scope would come into play in different browsers. Sorry for causing such a ruckus

If anyone needs any help with this let me know, I will gladly guide them and/or do it for them.

so now what?

[isosdcftp]

Just updated it. It should work fine now.

Where can i find the settings panel? I am dumb and can't find it :P

[Alibass]

I am using version 3.6.7 and I cant find the setting panel either. I could at least find settings panel in 1.2
Going back to 1.0
