Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Proxy IP to real IP conversion

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.

v3.7.003 : Installation Code Updated.


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

Well im afraid the instructions are correct, so you must have made a mistake somewhere, take a fresh copy and do them again, making sure you dont accidently delete an extra bracket or something.

Oh, since I upgraded to 3.7.4, it alwasy shows a red icon and instead of showing the "detected" IP, it dispalys the word "PROXYIP".

I do not use a proxy, so something needs to be updated, I think.

I think you forgot this ;

I get this error when I tried to create a new thread



nvm it was the "Answer Forums" mod causing the problem.

[LGKeiz]

does this detect tor proxies?

[SuperTaz]

There is already px.gif located in my styles. Do I overwrite it with yours?

[Paul M]

I would guess its probably mine anyway - px.gif is not something that exists in standard styles.

[SuperTaz]

They do exist and they came with these styles. They are attached.

[Paul M]

Like I said, px.gif is not a standard vb image/file, I cant imagine why those styles would have one, the only time they would get used is if you have this mod installed. Perhaps they were created for someone who originally did.
