This mod will hide the real Ip of the SuperAdmin in posts, in the MOD CP when searching for ip''s. After you install it, go to Settings-Options-Message Posting and Editing Options. And all the way to the bottom you will see 3 settings for the mod. You can enable and disable it, you can also enter a bogus ip for SuperAdmin which then will be displayed instead of the real ip. This is ideal for privacy. By default it affects those Super Admins whose userid is 1. If your userid is not 1 then enter at the third mod settings your own userid.
Things to consider 1: This mod it will hide the real ip of Superadmins for all the posts made before, present and all the time that the mod will be installed.
2: When you uninstall the mod, the past posts made from before, will still hide the ip of the superadmin. Whereas the posts made after the uninstall of the mod, will display the real ip of SuperAdmin normally.
After a request from a customer of mine I expanded it to hide the ip of Super Admin at the online list as well. The expanded version can be found at my forum but it is paid:
Unfortunatelly there is no real way of completely hiding the IP address by using Plug-Ins. But you can easily disable IP logging by editing a single file directly. This has the benefits of not only disabling logging for posts, but globally, even in error-, admin- and event-logs, as well as PMs and the currently online list.
Open file includes/class_core.php
Line 2259 find
Code:
return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
replace with
Code:
global $vbulletin;
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $vbulletin->options['superadmin_id'])
return "127.0.0.1";
return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
and Line 2269 find
Code:
$alt_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
replace with
Code:
global $vbulletin;
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $vbulletin->options['superadmin_id'])
return "127.0.0.1";
$alt_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
But I strongly suggest NOT to install this hack, for you will not be able to trace crackers that got into an admin account.
Works good.
And if ya made sure to change your PWs regularly as well as adding a great file to your server called. (.htaccess)...where you can allow or deny all the IPs ya want form accessing the ACP, server, or where ever...even if your account got hacked...they can't use your acct. as their IP is not on the allow list.
Anyways..I'm off topic.
This mod works fine for what it is.
There are plenty of settings to make sure no one sees any IPs anywhere.

A good question is where does this hack NOT hide the IP if you buy the premium version ?
Can you find the IP anywhere if you buy this?

This paid version will hide it at the online list as well, besides in posts and at the modcp when the supermoderators and moderators will search for ips.
