Proxy to Real IP Conversion · **Released**: 07-01-2006

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This hack makes the forum always use the members real ip when a proxy is detected, meaning that all existing ip functions should continue to work, basically ignoring the proxy server (other than recording it's presence).

i.e.

* The real ip (or host) is displayed in the who's online page.
* The real and proxy server ip's are accesible for each post, the button is red for members using a proxy server.
* The real ip is searchable in the admin/mod cp (but not the proxy ip).
* The real ip can be banned by admins.

etc etc ......

Note: Obviously this hack relies on the proxy server passing the correct http variables to allow detection.

If a proxy is detected, then a red ip icon is displayed instead of the standard one. This mod will also detect if the ipinfo hack is installed and adjust itself to call the ipinfo code.

History:

v2.20 : Updated for vb 3.6. IP Info detection added.
v2.21 : Dependancies updated for 3.6.0 Gold.
v2.22 : Updated for Version Checking.
v2.23 : Fixed bug causing wrong ip in WOL display.
v2.24 : Rewritten slightly to fix a minor issue with spiders.
v2.25 : Updated for changes in vB 3.6.4.

Remember that this modification involves changes to the class_core.php file - if you upgrade your vbulletin, you must reapply those changes.

Please do not post asking why this does not work with some proxy servers, the answer is already in the notes above, and also in Post #160.

I'm using a proxy to try it...

www.mywebsite/forum
Log in as "myname" .

New TAB.
www.mywebsite/forum
Currently Active Users
"myname"

Change TAB.
Who's Online?

"myname" XX.111.....
guest 85.195.123.22
http://Anonymouse.org/ (Unix)

Shouldn't it be twice XX.111.... ? Puzzles me...

Paul M · #**157** 11-05-2006, 01:03 AM

Nope, only one ip is displayed in WOL.

I normally log in once as "user1". I am the admin.

Then log in again as "user2" with the help of a proxy.

Currently active users:

As user2 I can see online: user1 and user2. No IP

As user1 I can see online:
user1 IP=XX.111...
user2 IP=YY.222... Why not XX.111... ?

user1 and user2 have the same IP because both of them are myself.

I should see twice XX.111.
I see YY.222 which is the proxy. This hack in my case does not show the real IP...

Please read the notes.

Obviously annonymouse is not going to pass on those variables (nor will any "annonymous" proxy) - they wouldn't be annonymous if they did.
