I just saw this mod to phpbb:
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=248252&start=690&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p3324724
I would like to know if someone can convert it to smf. Lots of users using PROXYS in my forum. >:(
Before anyone can convert/port ANY mod, you need the EXPRESS permission of the author of that PHPBB mod.
I know a block proxies mod has been requested before.
i always post the same thing.
Many ISPs these days use open/cache/transparent proxies for all their users. Users cannot opt out of it.
This means on my forum for example, I have 20 users with the EXACT same IP, all spread around the UK, all with the same ISP.
Although some sort of mod to ban the common webproxies would be an idea.
Banning any detected proxies will likely result in banning millions of potential users from your forum.
I can't download from rapidshare.com because it says I'm using a proxy. (my isp sometimes uses a cache proxy)

yes i agree. there are legit people out there that use open proxies. I know a member of smf that i was showing a test site of with nuke that had open proxies blocked could not view it. so yea. that point i will agree on.
