Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Proxy IP to Real IP Conversion

This modification is no longer available.

The latest vBulletin 3 version (3.8.11) has the same built in system as vB 4.2, that system should be used instead.


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).

For example ;

* 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.

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.


History:

v3.8.001 : Initial release for vbulletin 3.8.


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

I installed this add-on following Cloudflare support's recommendations to restore original ip addresses in vbulletin. It worked perfectly.

I only need it for this function.

Will the mod continue to work if I disable IP logging in the vBulletin options -> Message Posting and Editing Options?

seems not to detect ANY real ip at all.. Only says. Real ip: Proxyip. rofl

Then you have an error in the set-up somewhere.

And I stand corrected
