Proxy Blocker

[EnglishRose]

No one has posted here for a while so I'm not sure if I'm meant to use this mod or not but I need a proxy blocker to go with Forum Firewall and this had the most downloads of the two available.

I'm using SMF 2.06 but when I try to install the mod I get these warnings (in the attachments). Can anyone please tell me what has gone wrong or how to find out what has gone wrong?

Thank you

It cannot install itself due to one of several unexisting strings in index.php

You have to manually analyze that file and see if you can fix it

I have no idea how to do that, but I'll take a shot at it. 

Failing that, I'll just make do with Forum Firewall and make a sign saying "Proxies Welcome" 

Thanks for the help and the link.

Do backup your forum before you start!

Forgive me if it has been asked before, I haven't read all comments.

Is it possible to disable the error logging just for this mod?
When it was just installed, my forum wasn't indexed by Google yet, so it was off the grid. Back then it was interesting to receive a notification that a proxy wanted to login.
But now since Google has indexed my forum, a specific IP address tries entering the forum every hour. Therefore the error log gets cluttered real fast. I prefer to keep the error log nice and clean for any real or random errors.

Other than that I'm very satisfied with it. It works like a charm. I tried to enter the forum on different places and it worked everywhere. And when I tried to enter the forum using any proxy, I received the error message. Great work!

Yes, but you need 2 small edits to the code added by the MOD. Please note that this will prevent it from being automatically uninstalled if you wish to do so...

index.php, find:

Code Select Expand

fatal_lang_error('on_proxy');
Replace with:

Code Select Expand

fatal_lang_error('on_proxy', false);

Souces/Register.php, find:

Code Select Expand

fatal_lang_error('on_proxy');
Replace with:

Code Select Expand

fatal_lang_error('on_proxy', false);

Thanks a lot, I shall apply the edit and leave a note about the change.

This package is very bad. It destroyed my forum.
