Board Optimization - Proxy Alert

FORMALLY KNOWN AS TOR ALERT! PROXY ALERT TAKES CONTROL OF YOUR FORUMS WITH THE NEXT LEVEL OF PROTECTION! 3.8 VERSION HERE.

I've searched high and low for a modification that can detect Tor or proxy users. Personally I've had one too many banned members just create another identity and troll about. Now let proxies and TOR... Give you problems NO MOR! Now when those pesky proxy and Tor users visit your site, you can block them and redirect them to a custom error message!

You can also alert your members that proxies and Tor is not a nice thing to use! You can customize the message and it also allows to be closed.

ps: Mr TheInsaneManiac, my site and access are the same as the other day if you want to take a look, with my thanks

I tried to go to your site, but it appears to be down. If you go to the Admin CP -> Settings -> Proxy Alert, you will see the newly added option for blocking registration. It doesn't block by default.

In future versions yes, but I have not implemented permissions yet.

I just mean for permissions, if I make it for Admins being left out, then you can't really run a test, but if there is a field in the AdminCP, then you can add those you dont want and when you need to test, remove those you want.

Yes I can arrange this.

Oh sorry about that. Yea it's fixed in the new version, I still have another few kinks to work out and I will be releasing the updated version. Should be sometime tonight when I get off or tomorrow as I am off the whole day. That setting is so that anyone who was blocked from registration will have a cookie and will continue to be blocked regardless if they have disabled their proxy or not. So if you want them to be able to register after they disable their proxy, then leave it at no.

thx that fixed it and also one other problem as well if looking from ipad puffin browser
