Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Proxy to Real IP Conversion

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.

What do you mean "again" ? at no point have you previously confirmed you have done any edits, and the fact you get PROXYIP means that either you haven't, or you have done them incorrectly, or you haven't uploaded them, or some other problem with them. You cannot get that error if the edits are correct and in use.

ok i'm thinking you would have known we do edits before we actually post a problem. Yes i uploaded the xml file..and I did the edits and still the same thing..Now if I did something wrong..I'm sorry...But...could I send you the file so you can yourself? Its to long to post on here.

[Paul M]

Yes, you can send me the file.

Can you please help me out, I upgraded to the latest version of vbulletin and now I get this:

The Real IP Address is: 74.110.33.163
CPE0011114f0fcf-CM00407b876e1a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com
The Proxy Server IP Address is: PROXYIP

I did the file updates just as I did before, I am attaching my updated file.

Can you please tell me where I went wrong?

Thank you in advance for your help

I've removed the file as you are not permitted to upload complete vb files.

However, I checked it first and found no issues - are you sure you have actually uploaded it (to the correct place). Also, if you run your own server and use a php cache, make sure that is reset so it picks up the new file.
