Proxy ip to real ip conversion · **Released**: 09-09-2004

This modification is no longer available or supported.

A simple modification I did for our forum that was originally based on the Proxy Detector Hack (v3.0). Obviously, like all proxy server detection hacks, this will only work if the proxy server passes the appropiate http variables.

This hack makes the forum always use the members real ip when a proxy is detected, meaning that all existing ip functions continue to work, basically ignoring the proxy server (other than recording it's presence).

i.e.

* The real ip/host is displayed in who's online

* The real and proxy server ip's are accesible for each post, the button is red for members using a proxy.

* The real ip is searchable in the admin/mod cp, not the proxy ip.

* The real ip is bannable by admins (no moving to another proxy to avoid a ban).

etc etc.

The installation should take about 10-15 mins (4 file edits, 2 phrase changes, 1 new template, 1 sql query, 1 new image).

Ah ok,I was under the impression that when ever someone using a proxy server would view the forums and post the ipp icon would appear to let you know.Thanks for the informationthough.So do you know of any free Proxy that does pass the required http variables so i can test the mos to make sure it's working correctly

?

Sorry, I don't.

If you supply me a username/password/url for your forum I will post a test post, my isp uses proxies that do pass on the client ip.

How would I go about uninstalling this? It's not a bad hack, it's just that I seem to be having issues with some of my AOL users. I'm not blaming this hack at all, but I'm just going to uninstall anything I can to see what fixes the issues.

Allthough it was tempting, there is nothing in this to upset AOLiens. Uninstall is the reverse of install - reverse the instructions.

I installed this, and then went to a well know FREE WEB PROXY and used it to posts on my site. Seems even this was able to bypass this hack here:

If your on NTL Paul do me a favour and test my site as I know NTL uses proxy. You don't need an account as guest can post on the Asylum board

Most free proxy's are deliberately annonymous, so they will bypass this. I will post on your forum shortly.

Edit: Well atually I won't post as I can't - even in the Asylum I get a no permission screen.

Edit of the Edit: Oh, it seems I can't post replies, only a new topic - that's bizarre .....

That's because he has onlyl certain permissions for the members set up..or something like that.

Thats the way I have it setup so Guests can make new posts, you should have been able to reply to others on that board, but not reply to yourself asa guest. I'll double check that.

I created an animated version of the ipp image to suit the default one if you want it
