When a person creates a post obviously that post is recorded in the database with IP address info which is accessible by mouse-over or clicking the ip.gif. If the person was using a proxy IP when they posted that too will be recorded in the database so that when you click the ip.gif icon you get a message screen that contains both real and proxy IP addresses like you see in the first screenshot.

Thankyou for your assistance. But it doesn't seem to be doing this.

I have a couple of friends who have been helping me out by logging on from proxies to test my system and they are not being listed as proxies.

Does this hack work for annonymisers or just proxies?

[MickDoneDee]

Are your friends actually posting? If they are posting with a proxy that IP should appear in the Proxy IP field in your database and be displayed in http://yourforum.com/postings.php?do=getip&p=xxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the postid.

Have you got access to your database to check?

To see the results of the Proxy Detector v3.1 hack you need to select User Agent: Yes

The Real IP is seen above the user agent info and if a Proxy IP is detected you will see the round blue icon with question mark within the user agent info. Mouse-over that to see the Proxy IP.

If you are concerned about the User Agent setting defaulting every time you leave and return to Who's Online then keep Who's Online open but minimised as an icon on your taskbar while you browse the rest of the site in another open window.

It seems that people having a hard time turning User Agent ON so I would suggest taking the ProxyIP Icon OUT of the user Agent


You can Use this instead:


### ACP/Edit TEMPLATE: whosonlinebit
## Look for:

<if condition="$show['useragent']">

## Add BEFORE:
<if condition="$userinfo[proxyip]">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/question_icon.gif" alt="$userinfo[proxyip]" />

Is there a possibilaty to ban people with a proxy?

With this hack I can see their real IP. But when I ban that IP, and their proxy IP they can just take another proxy from the net and start posting again..
Cause the ACP doesn't use the info/doesn't see's the info.

So when a user's real IP and proxy IP are banned the forum doesn't do anything when a person is posting again.

Do you understand?

That's why you need to add Proxy ip to real ip conversion. It compliments this hack very well so that you can reveal people's real IP address when they are using Proxys AND, most importantly, ban those users, if necessary, by their REAL ip address. I haven't had to ban anyone, yet, in this manner, but I have forums which allow guests to post so it is vital that I can stop them flooding the forum by banning their real ip.

I've just uninstalled Proxy Detector... But now IP adresses do not write into the database. All I can see is

IP Adress: IPADRESS. Host .

Please help. May be I deleted something wrong?
