vB Version: 3.0.3 Rating: (2 votes - 4.50 average) Installs: 51
Released: 21 Aug 2004 Last Update: Never Downloads: 209
Not Supported  

This is my Anti-Proxy hack, works with any vBulletin version.

Just download the attachment.


What this hack does

This hack prevents anyone from accessing your site through a proxy.

This is pretty useful if you have a large/semi-large community like mine (www.bnfreak.com) with a lots of young / immature members.

If someone gets banned he will most likely try to come back through a proxy, this is what this hack prevents.



You can also customize it (like I did on my forums) to simply prevent new registrations from proxies rather than the whole site. To do this, just edit register.php instead of global.php



Don't forget to click Install

Pretty self-explainable:

Prevents proxies from accessing your forums.

To keep users, youve banned from your site via ip, off your site.

Look man, I have a forum I can call large enough and we're a young community, many are very immature for instance if they get banned, they'll proxy back in and spam the website.

That's what this hack prevents.

Stupid question, but won't this block all AOL users and anyone else who's ISP automatically goes through a proxy (like Freeserve for me)?

This blocks all proxies that gives out HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_FORWARDED or the most common, HTTP_VIA.

High anonymity (sp?) proxies don't return any of those variables, so if you're on one of those you're fine.

Couldn't really say if AOL has one of those variables since this connection is very uncommon where I'm from.


And @ excluding proxies, yes there's a way, you can add safe proxies in an array and check if the remote address = this proxy.
