Everyone seeing the new check page? You should see it once and only once, then be able to continue browsing...

Great idea! The only thing is that I was just trying to login to the site and I got denied. The page told me that I was using a Proxy (which I am not). I just disconnected my internet, reconnected to get a new IP and it let me login.

I had the same problem. Got the "no proxies allowed" error message even though I'm not behind one. I had to log in from my work network (which uses a proxy --- ironc isn't it?) twisted

Admin, I sent a PM as I usually access from home. Would appreciate if you could help me out!

Thanks!!!!

yeah those things are not reliable. a lot of times you get the ip of past owners of the IPs who had a proxy.

This is a waste.. Not only will it cause issues for legit users, but its not a sufficient way of blocking proxy users.

One of the lists was providing a ton of false positives. I've removed that list from the checker and cleared the blacklist. You shouldn't get any problems now...

How does a proxy checker work? Does it ping the IP address? There might be a firewall causing a false assessment if that's the case.

1) That thing just locked me out of the site for the past half hour and I don't use a proxy.

2) The people in your irc channel are dick heads. Both times I've gone in there I was banned. Never even got to say a damn word because I didn't have a voice.

It's not scanning anything - it just checks with a couple popular blacklists.

Is ty you Admin? If it is, why the hell would you ban me after all I've done to you, I mean for you....

If it's not, then ty is a faggot.

Oh OK. That makes sense.

I thought the "you're not being hacked" message meant you were trying some ports out.

I couldn't get in as of 700am EDT from my home computer. I'm using Verizon DSL in the Boston area. The IP is Dynamic. I sent the email to Admin as the page said. Hopefully, the issue will get resolved so I can access the Forums from home.

Great idea. I was blocked at first too. But all seems well, keep it up.

25-05-2005 07:46:15

that's gay. it doesn't work on safari. the count-down starts on 3 then goes to 2, then 1, then 0, -1, -2, -3, -4 and so on.. i got till -30 where I refreshed the page, and it let me on.

also. I'm worried that it won't let me on when I get home.. I don't have a proxy, but still.

Admin

25-05-2005 08:30:04

EatChex Minor bug, you'll only see the page once so it doesn't really matter.

Everyone else if you have more than 50 posts and you're connecting from the IP you registered with, you will be automatically whitelisted. Just go to
http//forum.freeipodguide.com/scanme.php

And it will fix you up.

The proxy thing sucks! I got blocked out of nowhere, and I am not on a proxy! My mac is connected to broadband IP, WTF! I also had to VPN into work to use the site.

Admin

25-05-2005 09:12:13

If you are getting blocked, you should be able to request a rescan now. Assuming that you are logged in, if you have more than 20 posts you will be automatically whitelisted.

I have a large number of posts lol No problems here so far.

25-05-2005 10:16:13

why does it return u to a previous page?? shouldn't it just refresh to the site?

lolproxy

25-05-2005 10:32:16

Nice job, Admin. Now that you dont do the check regarding the postcount, I can log in with open proxies again.

See, when you logout of a phpbb forum, it saves a "username logged out" cookie. Well, all I have to do is manually change that "username logged out" cookie to "Admin logged out" or "sweedfish logged out" and your system thinks I'm immune.

Awesome.

^ trying to keep them out will only give them more of a reason to get in.

you should be thanking me, not flaming me ;) im just pointing out a vulnerability in the system. i'm a high Tr trader on these boards, and i dont want people with proxies on here. if i actually wanted to use this vulnerability to my advantage, i wouldn't have posted about it here... i would've kept quiet and exploited you all D
