Proxy Hack v1.0

Ooook,

Well, this hack is a little thing to give you vB admins and moderators some more information about the users using proxys on your board (mainly, thier IP address).

The following version is upto date and works with vb 2.2.8 and whatever else. This version was updated by Stadler to work with 2.2.8. I cannot provide support personally for ANY versions here. And I do not know what support Stadler can give you.

So, download the 2.2.8 update here

----------------

Everything below has to do with super old versions that don't matter.. because they are super old! You don't want them, so don't even read it!


STOP READING! hehe, anyway. I repeat:

VERSION 2.2.8 ABOVE ^
VERSION 2.2.5 BELOW

enjoy

Screenshots are in the posts to follow.

Let me know how you like it, or ways I could improve it. ^_^ :bunny:

Edit: Non intrusive version
This little edit simply adds the proxy info to the getip template. So when mods/admins click the "IP Logged" button/graphic if there is any proxy info, it will tell them instead of in postbit.

Get it here

Thanks.

This was the asked for integration with the current one. Its more or less the same, you dont have to edit postings.php. For this one it wont display Proxy Detected in the postbit, instead it just displays the proxy info, if any when you click the get IP link.

have fun

nice hack man

my best wich...

LORD

[Allstar DC]

is it possible to make an addon that also ban's
the use of proxies to login??

[Ren]

nice hack Takara and thanks for taking the time to make it.

[Takara]

Thanks ren (btw, if you install it please use the 'I installed this hack' option ^_^)

Allstar: I supose it would be possible, though alot of people use proxys at work and school etc. I dunno how to do it off the top of my head, and right now I'm working on external avatar linking. So I cant look into it >.<

sorry

[Keyser S?ze]

does this only show up to mods and admins, or to everyone?

and also, is it possible to make it so it only shows to admins? another thing i think i said before, would be wonderful if you could tie this into the banning options and auto ban the person who does a re-register

[Neo]

Very nice.

[NTLDR]

Very nice hack Takara, just what I was looking for

One error in the one that displays the Proxy in the thread_displayip template is that you have the Machines IP adddress and the proxy address labled the wrong way round!

[Takara]

Eurgh, I knew i would mess up somewhere, lol. I changed it -.-
thanks NTLDR.

Ice: If you use the one that adds the 'Proxy Detected' under the posts, it shows for everone. However only the admins/mods can view it. I made it like this to discourage a fiew certin people that will use proxys to view the boards. When they see 'proxy detected' they will run away XD

But if you use the non intrusive version its the same as what you set for viewing the persons IP

[Allstar DC]

@Takara: thats ok, im in no hurry with it.

It doesnt work with all proxys, some are completely anon. So its not fool proof

Thanks for that

But im talking a look over the instructions, but I'm a bit confused on how it works. Sorry if I'm totally wrong, I'm still a bit new to PHP . But where you say to add:

PHP Code:

//Proxy Check
    if ($post[proxyip]!='') {
        eval("\$post[proxysip] = \"".gettemplate("proxy_proxyip")."\";");
    } else {
        $post[proxysip]='';
    }
//Proxy Check 


Don't I need a proxy_proxyip template? I can't find one that comes with vB, and your instructions don't say to make one anywhere..

The second thing I found that I wasn't too sure about was replace the template threads_displayip with:

The Proxy IP Address is: $postinfo[ipaddress]. The Proxy host name is: $postinfo[hostaddress].<br>Real IP: $postinfo[proxyip]<P>Please click <a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid">here</a> to return to the thread.

Wont that come up if they have a proxy IP or not? I mean, I only want to get that sort of message if they have a proxy. If not, it just shows the normal message.

Sorry to be a bother
