Proxy Blocker

* Arantor bangs head against wall.

Can I ask you a question? When you go to the doctor, do you just say "I have a pain" and expect the doctor to figure out what the problem is from that?

Same applies here. Telling me it doesn't work is just the same. Tell me what it IS doing.

It displays the exact text from that line in the error page including al the html tags

In which case, no, there's no easy way of doing it without modifying the language error core - which is a BAD idea for security reasons.

I am on satellite internet w/router.  When I installed and activated the mod I get the error that I am not allowed to access the site (guess it's the standard one reading no one from schools, etc.).  So, what can I do?  I own the site, server account, etc.

This seems to have stopped most of the spammers.

That said, I now see this in my error log, is this ok to ignore?

2: gethostbyaddr() [<a href='function.gethostbyaddr'>function.gethostbyaddr</a>]: Address is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address

I wouldn't mind the mod counting the number of proxies blocked to know how much I'm being 'attacked'.

A quick feature addition request . . . when a person is denied, can you give the option to redirect to a separate page?

On that page we can then write instructions on how to manually register for an account, ie by email to the admin or whatever.

I'm worried I'll lose legit accounts, and I think this is a good fix.

Tested on SMF 1.1.11

I leave unchecked the option: Block forum if using proxy
I check the option : Block registration if using proxy

I can register using a proxy.

Sorry, my English is always bad.

Satellite internet is proxy based. When you activated the mod, it basically blocked you out, even if you're already logged in.

Since you own the server account, best thing to do, would be to log into your server and restore your database files for your forum. That is if you backed up the database before installing the mod.

If not, then you would need to upload the upgrade script, and clear it out as if you were upgrading. This happened to a friend of mine who also is using this, and is stuck on a proxy.

Thank YOU for this very great and useful MOD. You have no idea how helpful it is, or do you?


Don't let it die! Looking forward to your future plans.

[sharks]

Very interesting mod and most useful! Please update this mod for SMF 1.1.12 with the new features that you suggested on your mod page.

Only problem is... the mod creator was last active on July 13, 2010. We're doomed!

[R.Bourne]

Works fine on 1.12.

[sharks]

Works fine on 1.12.

I know it works. But i'm requesting that this mod be updated with the planned features that have been advertised for its next release, which never happened.

Installed with no errors on 2.0RC5.

I have been awash with IPs trying to login using admin, moderator and last registered user as the ID for the last 3 days. Hopefully this will put an end to that.

[JoeSperrazza]

Installs with no problems, works great (SMF 2.0), thank you!

Dutch:

Code Select Expand

$txt['on_proxy'] = 'Sorry, de administrator heeft registratie door middel van proxy geblokkeerd. Ook registraties via intranet (school connecties), mobiele telefoons of andere browsers dat niet wordt ondersteund, zijn niet mogelijk..';
$txt['proxyblock_reg'] = 'Blokkeer forum indien gast gebruik maakt van registratie';
$txt['proxyblock_index'] = 'Blokkeer forum indien gebruik van proxy';

excellent

I have a question
Do you have a problem with this mod SEO positioning and indexing tools?

[_sebas_]

uoops

aparently instalation is correct,
  but I see this error:

xxxxxxxxxx/foro/index.php?action=packages;sa=install2;package=ProxyBlocker_1.1.4.zip
Aplicar filtro: Mostrar solamente los mensajes de error con el mismo mensaje

There is apparently a problem when using this mod on version 2.0.

Managesettings.php on version 2.0 needs this line:
// Mod authors, add any settings UNDER this line. Include a comma at the end of the line and don't remove this statement!!

This mod is removing that line, rather than adding its modification settings under it.
As a result, other mods that need that line in order to work, are failing.  Mods like "Gamer IDs".

So perhaps a tweak is in order?  I wanna use this mod, but installing it prevents me from using other mods unless I install this last.  Savvy?

That is not necessary. Just go to a non proxy computer, log in and uninstall the mod.
