Proxy to Real IP Conversion · **Released**: 07-01-2006

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.

History:

v2.20 : Updated for vb 3.6. IP Info detection added.
v2.21 : Dependancies updated for 3.6.0 Gold.
v2.22 : Updated for Version Checking.
v2.23 : Fixed bug causing wrong ip in WOL display.
v2.24 : Rewritten slightly to fix a minor issue with spiders.
v2.25 : Updated for changes in vB 3.6.4.

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

Please do not post asking why this does not work with some proxy servers, the answer is already in the notes above, and also in Post #160.

When you have got your sleep, please feel free to click on the "Mark as Installed" link.

*click* (installed)

Tells you loads about the anonymity of most proxies. I suppose that there will be proxies for which it doesn't work?

Great hack, thank you.

There will be plenty it will not work for, it can only function if the proxy passes on the details, many (quite deliberately) do not.

I just noticed that the version of the current XML file (v2.25) outdates the one I have installed on my site (from when I first installed the mod (v2.21)). Should I replace the old one with the new one? If so, how would I go about doing that? Should I uninstall the old one first, or just upload and overwrite?

I'm running 3.6.4 if that matters, and yes, I have already upgraded my class_core.php

Paul M · #**229** 12-07-2006, 04:01 AM

Just import the new xml via the product manager.

There are a couple of minor bug fixes between 2.21 and 2.25 so it's worth updating it.

Thanks.

Thanks for this hack!
I'm having trouble lately with some idiot who keeps making accounts since he has been banned. >.<
