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This modification has been withdrawn.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 +).

The mod that has the warning is:
vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ht=cron+backup

it is not this mod...

In /includes/cron/cronbackup.php on line 18
Find:

PHP Code:

$mysqlBackup = &new mysqlBackup($vbulletin->db, $vbulletin->options); 


Replace:

PHP Code:

$mysqlBackup = new mysqlBackup($vbulletin->db, $vbulletin->options); 


This is a warning not an error.

Thanks for this mod! It works, I got a little visual problem. If someone is able to help me solve this, would be greatly appreciated.

I tried this mod, but no real ip has shown to me!!

I have a VPS and using Nginx so I don't see why this mod doesn't work anyways since Nginx always detect the real IP!!!

any idea??

Installing : 4.2.0.0
