Web Proxy Redirector [BETA] · **Released**: 05-14-2007

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/.

WOW with the new code he has coming out. I couldnt find not even ONE proxy that could get thru... Amazing this should be a part of the Next VB release.

Yea there is no settings group in the attached zip....did you update the instructions but not the xml?

(btw...this hack...will save SO many headaches...I vote you MVP of the 3.6.x series

)

Mrdby · #38 05-18-2007, 01:36 AM

huh? i'm in my admin cp and see nothing to update.

Mrdby · #39 05-18-2007, 01:39 AM

well do you have it?

MThornback · #40 05-18-2007, 01:39 AM

the product XML has nothing in the settings group...the plugin was reconfigured to work with settings that you can't enter cause the fields aren't there.\

In other words...the half of this mod that lets you configure it isn't in the package atm, he probably forgot to add it in is all

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
