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This modification has been withdrawn.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 +).

I am using this mod with Cloudflare, and it works well.

Below is the result which shows proxy IP is from Cloudflare, and real IP of your forum visitor.

vBulletin Message
The Real IP Address is: 183.90.37.93
The Real IP Host is: 183.90.37.93

The Proxy Host is: 103.31.5.77

Any update instructions for google pagespeed : mod_pagespeed?

[Duckface]

The image in the postbit isn't showing :S, I definitely put the image in the correct directory too!

[fionix]

Is there any solution for Vbuleltin 5.1.7 please?

[Paul M]

Sorry, atm, there is not.

There is the possibility that the functionality currently included in 4.2.3 will be included in 5.1.9.

For me CloudFlare didn't worked using given instructions, so I made one more change, first one found on CloudFlare's support: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en...ith-vBulletin-

Find:

PHP Code:

    function fetch_ip()
    {
        return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    } 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

    function fetch_ip() 
    { 
        if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'])) 
        { 
            return $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']; 
        } 
        return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
    } 


Now I see real IP address user uses, but I still can't see proxy and real IP address, including red IP icon. For some reason, it looks like this mod doesn't work for me on different servers.

But at least I now can see real IP address.

I know this is completely my fault i just need some guidance from you kind coders,members


Ok so i have installed this and tested it with a test member qwerty using numerous proxies and posted some posts.I was on another computer signed in as admin and was hoping that qwerty would show up red and i would be able to check real ip etc.I couldnt even see the red ip icon that i have uploaded correctly.

So could it be down to this.I read the text file and it said this below

Step 1.

In class_core.php ;

Find ;

if ($proxy)
{
define('ALT_IP', $this->ipaddress);
define('IPADDRESS', $this->alt_ip);
}


Insert above it ;

// Detect ALL.
if ($registry->ipaddress == $registry->alt_ip)
{
define('PROXYIP','');
}
else
{
$proxy = true;
define('PROXYIP',$registry->ipaddress);
}

So i did that in my class core file and it look like this below.I have highlighted what they said to put above it


// Detect ALL.
if ($registry->ipaddress == $registry->alt_ip)
{
define('PROXYIP','');
}
else
{
$proxy = true;
define('PROXYIP',$registry->ipaddress);
}
if ($proxy)
{
define('ALT_IP', $this->ipaddress);
define('IPADDRESS', $this->alt_ip);
}


So is that code correct im having a moment lol or do you need to turn it on somewhere in settings

Once again thanks

What are you using to edit the file with

PHP Code:

        // Detect ALL.
        if ($registry->ipaddress == $registry->alt_ip)
        {
            define('PROXYIP',''); 
        }
        else
        {
            $proxy = true;
            define('PROXYIP',$registry->ipaddress);
        }

        if ($proxy)
        {
            define('ALT_IP', $this->ipaddress);
            define('IPADDRESS', $this->alt_ip);
        }
        else
        {
            define('IPADDRESS', $this->ipaddress);
            define('ALT_IP', $this->alt_ip);
        }
