Proxy IP to Real IP Conversion

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.

This seems like such a useful mod, I can not seem to work out why vbulletin would not do this as default. Thanks for the great mod.

I am totally confused. I installed it and see absolutely no difference anywhere.

Where is this "Red Button" located? I look everywhere on known proxy users and I see nothing.

Please help.

It's installed on the board in my sig.

Thanks in advance.

Read the notes on proxy detection.

Also remember this only applies to posts made after it is installed.

I was looking at the online list of my forum and noticed that a registered member using a proxy has the IP 192.168.1.1. Is this a bug, since this is a private IP?

Basically it means there is an error in the edit you have made, use a simple editor like notepad.

Im on mac.
I used ViM twice and TextEdit once.

If you get a chance, the attached class_core.php is what is currently active on my test board.

Some of the edits appear to be in the wrong place (Steps 1 & 2) - and you also seem to have completely deleted the fetch_ip() function.

Sigh, I missed the "Add below" part and deleted fetch_ip.
My bad, thanks for the support and modification, Paul M. Muchly appreciated.

How is this different than the IP function already in place by vbulletin?
example in the first step, where you say to add the code, there is another code which starts with:
Fetches an alternate IP address of the current visitor, attempting to detect proxies etc.
is this the same?

Paul before I try this I was wondering if there is anyway to prevent mods from having access to this feature in their modCP. My mods cannot view IP's, only admins.... so I don't even want them to know this is installed.

I will await your reply before installing and thank you.

This doesnt make any difference to the modcp.
