Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Proxy IP 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:

v3.7.001 : Initial release for vbulletin 3.7 beta.
v3.7.002 : Fix px.gif - Update install data for 3.7.
v3.7.003 : Installation Code Updated.


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

I have just instaled this mod in my board, but when i tryed to post some post using http://anonymouse.org , my messages have still 'anonymous.org' IP adress. I can`t see a 'proxy icon' anywhere.

As clearly stated in the main post ;

* This hack makes the forum always use the members real ip when a proxy is detected

* This hack relies on the proxy server passing the correct http variables to allow detection

Anonymous proxy servers do not pass on any such details for pretty obvious reasons, they wouldnt be very anonymous if they did.

Getting a blank page after doing the class core revisions.

That's the revised version that ends up with a blank page.

You overwrote the closing bracket of function fetch_ip() when you edited the file.

[Chadi]

What line are you referring to? I'm not seeing this at all.

Re-do the edits correctly.

so this will NOT work with Hidemyass, makemeaninja, etc..??

the anonymous proxies dont pass the proper info?

[Paul M]

I have no idea what Hidemyass, makemeaninja are, but no, annonymous proxies do not pass on the information - they wouldnt be very annonymous if they did.
