Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Proxy IP to Real IP Conversion

This modification is no longer available.

The latest vBulletin 3 version (3.8.11) has the same built in system as vB 4.2, that system should be used instead.


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).

For example ;

* 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.

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:

v3.8.001 : Initial release for vbulletin 3.8.


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

I messed something up.

When I did the edits and then uploaded the product, I lost my custom image header, colours reverted, some buttons like the who's online, etc show as text. Basically, something is jacked up.

I undid the edits and deleted the product but it hasn't reverted.

Any ideas?

Not really. Its hard to see how this could affect any of those things.

thx Paul installed

Installed, made the changes to class_core.php and now every ip post icon shows as the proxy icon and every ip is listed as; The Proxy Server IP Address is: PROXYIP.

Either, you havent made the changes properly, or you havent uploaded them, or the changed code is not running - what you describe is what happens when the plugin is running but the class_core changes are not.

Hello Paul,

does an update come for vB4?

[Tanapangarap]

Hi.

My forum is version 3.7.3. I use version 3.7.003 of your modification. Is there a significant difference between that version and 3.8.001? In other words, is it worth the update if you already have the former? Also, version 3.8.001 says it has a dependency of 3.8 minimum. I was wondering if this really means that the modification won't work or is likely to have problems with the version of vBulletin I am using, or if it just means no support for anything lower than vBulletin 3.8?

Regards,

Kevin
