Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Proxy to Real IP Conversion

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This modification has been withdrawn.
vBulletin 4.0.x and 4.1.x are no longer supported.

For vBulletin 4.2.x please use the built in reverse proxy detection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This hack makes the forum always use the members real ip if 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 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: This hack relies on the proxy server passing the correct http variables to allow detection.
If they are not passed then detection will not work. By definition, annonymous proxies do not pass on these variables.

If a proxy is detected, then a red ip icon is displayed instead of the standard one.

To install, download and unzip the files and follow the instructions in the text file.

This modification involves changes to the class_core.php file - if you upgrade your vbulletin, you must reapply those changes.
If you forget these edits, the modification will continue to work for forum posts only (v4.0.4 +).

With a post like that you won't get much help.
Post the reasons why it's not working, what doesn't work.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/huskerma/public_html/vbbs/includes/class_core.php on line 2042

This is what I get? Use 4.1.12 patch 1

Made the change in class core.php Uploaded the xml file and image. And Each time I upload the changed class core file I get the above error.

Why did you edit the class core file for have you tried putting it back to default. It looks like you made an error when you edited it

Thanks for the update, it's installed and will mark it as recommended to anyone!

Strange, I modified core file and uploaded plugin, but the button is not showing up. I see a minimal hyperlinked _ which works if I click it.

I checked page source, ip-40x doesn't even show up at all in page source. I have the button uploaded to images/buttons and even my custom style at images/element/buttons as well.

using 4200.zip on my 4.2, the changes to class_core give me an unable to add cookies header already sent error.

[Crotan]

what proxy can I test with to see if this is working, I used http://anonymouse.org/ but I still get the proxy IP and not the real IP.

So the question is which proxies pass the correct http variables to allow detection?
