This all seems a bit flaky on my board, not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with it, just that I don't understand what's happening.

Here's my problem :

Sometimes the icon appears red and when you click for info the proxy server IP address simply reads 'PROXYIP', sometimes the icon is the normal green. Either way the actual IP address is the same, and you never get a proxy server IP. This happens for most users, regardless of the service they use. Any idea as to where the problem lies?

Sounds to me like you haven't done the file edits to class_core.php

I followed your instructions to the letter and did the file edits. It's an intermittent problem, so I'm guessing it's not a problem with your code, or my installation of it. Something else is screwy and I was looking for ideas as to what it might be as I don't understand too much about proxy servers. Could it be something on my server set up?

As a very basic rule of thumb would it be fair to say that most home users won't be using a proxy, (excluding AOL users), where as members logging in from work might well be using a corporate proxy server? This might give me an idea as to which IP's are having a problem.

[Paul M]

The only way it can say "PROXYIP" is if the code has not run.

BTW, as far as I know, this won't detect AOL proxies as they don't pass on the correct http variables.

Thanks Paul. I've just been checking my board again and all seems normal. Why it happened first time around I guess we'll never know.

I have a really terrible person who has been threatening me and plagiarising portions of my website to his for a long time. He's just seriously been a thorn in my side for quite a while, and he follows me everywhere. I banned his home IP from my website a while ago but then he started using proxies of some kind...the other day he signed up for an account on my new vBulletin mimicing my username there, obviously intending to try to fool people into thinking he was me. I've HAD it with him. I have installed this hack, and hopefully it will help! Thank you.

That solved the problem! Thank you so much!


EDIT: Is it safe to install the "Extra user IP information" mod, having already installed this one?

Yes.

[NeitherSparky]

This is unfortunately not working with my problem user - he's on right now. Poop.

[Neal-UK]

He probably using a fake IP then. Just moderate new members. If their IP hostname comes back as nothing or something weird or that you have never heard of, delete them.

This is what I get when I click the IP button of someone who has a proxy: http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/8080/ipproxyuf0.png
Not only does it not list the fake adress, but the "real" IP adress it lists has (according to the list) only been posted from twice. Should I just uninstall the extra info mod?

Updated yesterday? Anything major.

You cannot have both displays off one link, so you need to choose which you prefer.

There is a version history in the first post.

[slowhand.chen]

my vbb server is：172.24.32.108

if I use proxy ，user this Plugin don't record the proxy

I already note

Please put code inside php or code tags.

Also note ;

Obviously this hack relies on the proxy server passing the correct http variables to allow detection.
