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.

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

Thanks Paul

Suggestion: ignore LAN ranges, such as 192.168.x.x or 172.x.x.x

Within the file edits you will find a line that says ;

PHP Code:

        $ignoreprivate = false; 


Change that to true and it will exclude those private ranges.
