Proxy Blocker

[oOo--STAR--oOo]

Hi i have just installed this mod.. looks great.. I didnt get locked out..
But i would like a simple request..
playstation 3 users use my forums because its based off a playstation 3.

I dont have my playstation 3 to hand right now.. but will they beable to access the site using there playstation 3's browser?

I have alot of people who come in through proxy's and this is an amazing option to keep them out.

Im gonna run it for a few days see how many emails i get saying that there is something wrong.

@ shadowcrews & sattninja
Check the edits in your index.php located in the root of your forum

[sattninja]

what edits can we check

[Sabre™]

Check that these were installed correct.
Just those edit for the index.php

[sattninja]

everything checks and still getting same error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function IsTorExitPoint() in /home/appfuzio/public_html/index.php on line 226

[Sabre™]

Check the other files also then, namely the Register.php
Im guessing it's in that file, as I an get [HERE] without a problem.

EDIT:
Also make sure your edits toward the bottom of your templates are before  ?>

This mod locks alot of people out of the forum.. I trialed it for a week and legit members was getting locked out the forums..

I recomend that only small forums use this as it can lock members out who are legit.

Thanks for the mod didnt work for me as I wanted it to.

That's the thing, most users are using a proxy whether they realise it or not.

I find this mod useless. 
I have a SMF user here who has this installed on their site as well as me being a member there. I had issues trying to register, login because of this damn thing.

Yes I know that Arantor. I don't see this being used as they won't realise they are being locked out thur you are gonna lose members that way and/or you won't be gaining members with this thing installed.

[Arantor]

And therein lies the underlying problem.

You can't actually block proxies reliably. I've been saying this for months.

Oh really? I didn't know you could bypass. So there's a walkaround after all?  Same for SimpleSEF as it does not increase or improve SEO either.

[Arantor]

It's not so much a case of bypassing it, it's just that so many users use proxies without realising that you'll have so many false positives, and a surprisingly scary number of misses that it's just not worth the effort in the long run.

I'm using SMF1.1.11

Is it possible to add an image at the error page.
I've searched for a solution but I can't find out how to place an image.

I think it has something to do with the following code

// What if we're on a proxy?
   $hostaddr = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
   if(
      !empty($modSettings['proxyblock_index'])
      && empty($kill_proxyblocker)
      && (!$hostaddr
      || $hostaddr == "."
      || empty($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'])
      || !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])
      || !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED'])
      || !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR'])
      || !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_VIA'])
      || in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_PORT'], array(8080,80,6588,8000,3128,553,554))
      || empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CONNECTION'])
      || stripos($hostaddr, "tor-exit")
      || IsTorExitPoint())
   )
      fatal_lang_error('on_proxy');

- Can someone tell me if it's possible.?
- Can someone tell how to do it?

[Arantor]

You could in theory modify the on_proxy language string to contain HTML for an image by adding <img src="img address"> into $txt['on_proxy']. Not sure off hand where that is though, probably Themes/default/Modifications.english.php

For example:

Code Select Expand

$txt['on_proxy'] = '<img src="http://myforum.com/accessdenied.png"> You cannot access this site through a proxy.';

Thanks, but I've tried that and it is not working.
