Here is a complete overview of the [8wayRun.Com] Hide IP Addresses v1.0.2 add-on , without inserting any links:
General Description
This add-on for XenForo (version 1.x) allows you to hide the IP addresses of one or more user groups within all forum areas: posts, profile messages, add-on comments (e.g., xenMedio), cross-IP lookups, and spam cleanup. IP addresses are not deleted from the database, but simply masked when displayed.
Requirements
-
XenForo 1.x
-
FTP or file manager access to the root of your XenForo installation
-
Community Administrator Permissions
Installation
-
Extract the version 1.0.2 archive to your computer.
-
Upload the folder
library/EWRhideip/(including all files) to the root of XenForo. -
Go to XenForo Control Panel → Tools → Import add-ons from file and select
library/EWRhideip/addon-EWRhideip.xml. -
Once finished, go to Users → User Groups: for each group that should see hidden IPs, set “Hide IP addresses = Yes”; for groups that should be able to bypass masking, set “Bypass IP hiding = Yes”.
Main features
-
IP masking in all standard content types: posts, profile messages, comments from xenMedio or other add-ons that use the XenForo IP system.
-
Removed IP entries in the profile edit and IP cross-lookup area (Admin/Mod CP and spam cleaner).
-
Granular permission controls : Define which groups see the real address and which only see dummy values or replacement text strings.
-
No data loss : IP addresses remain recorded in the database and are recoverable in case of security or investigative needs.
Changelog v1.0.2
-
Added full support for displaying xenMedio comments under masking
-
Improved permission management for the “Administrators” group
-
Fixed minor bugs in cross-IP lookup
-
Optimized performance of database queries related to masking
Note d’uso
-
If a third-party add-on directly exposes your IP without going through XenForo's IP system, you may need to manually address that particular add-on.
-
After installation and configuration, we recommend clearing the XenForo cache and previewing it with a test account belonging to the configured groups.
With this solution, you can protect the privacy of users or business partners by preventing their real IP addresses from being visible in plain text on the forum front end, while still keeping them available on the back end for security or moderation purposes.
