[CODE] (COMPLETED) Show Real IP ;) **UPDATED**

[sylvester]

If you want to ban a forum-user, but he is behind a proxy-server, you must ban all users who use that proxy server....BUT, I've solved that problem (as far as I know)

Go to your Index.php (of your yabbse board ofcourse).

Code Select Expand

<id>
Show Real IP
</id>

<version>
1.3
</version>

<mod info>
If your user is behind a proxy-server, you will get the IP-address which he/she got from his/her ISP

Update: It will also look for $HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
It's YaBBse v 1.3.x compatible
</mod info>

<edit file>
index.php
</edit file>

<search for>
error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
</search for>

<add after>
$REMOTE_ADDR = ($HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR != "") ? $HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR: $REMOTE_ADDR;
$REMOTE_ADDR = ($HTTP_CLIENT_IP != "") ? $HTTP_CLIENT_IP: $REMOTE_ADDR;
</add after>

if the user has a 'second IP', the 'first IP' changes in the 'second IP'

it worked for me.

use a proxy server. go to your board before you install this 'mod'. post something. your IP will be shown on the post. install this 'mod'. post something on your board, and look to your IP, is that your Proxy-server's, or your ISP's? (Hint: your ISP's )

does this help single out users using AOL?

I don't know. anything i can say: just try it
php has one good thing: your real ip is ALWAYS visible, but not always with the same 'string'

if your client has "two IP's", so if he/she has a proxyserver, this script will fish out the REAL ip, so you haven't to ban a proxy-server .
sorry for my bad english, i'm a dutch-boy

[iamdamnsam]

by real ip address, do you mean one that is on the computer?  So if this person has dial-up, will their real ip address always be the same?

[Ben_S]

Only inktomi webcaches use http_client_ip most caches, squid and netapps, use HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR so you need to check for that too

no, if I am behind a proxy server, you will see the IP address which I got from my ISP

Trying to ban people using IP is a nightmare... If I did it I'll probably ban everyone including myself...

Not enough ISP's... too many people using the same!

[Robbie]

i can't find that code in index.php

[Iridium]

What about anonymizing proxies that don't pass the client's actual IP?

[Mach8]

Does it work with multi-level proxies? Or web based proxies such as nph-proxy.pl or Anonymizer.com? Just asking, that's all...

this 'mod' has been updated. it also looks for the $HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR environment variable.
