Firewall block
Every time I try to log onto any php site, including my own, it gives this message:
Warning: your browser doesn't send the HTTP_REFERER header to the website.
This can be caused due to your browser, using a proxy server or your firewall.
Please change browser or turn off the use of a proxy
or turn off the 'Deny servers to trace web browsing' in your firewall
and you shouldn't have problems when sending a POST on this website.
I have had previous php sites and never had this issue. Will everyone that that tries to access or join my site have this same issue? If so, I'm sure not many will want to join.
Any suggestions would be great.

If you are using an internet security suite such as Norton or ZoneLabs Zonealarm firewall amongst others. Then I would try and disable the firewall momentarily and see if you can login or access the site. Sentinel doesn't like browsers that don't send HTTP_REFERER info and will automatically block them if deny proxies is turned on.
One thing you can try and do on your own site if you are running patched 3.1 is open your mainfile.php and find:
| Code: : |
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
if (!stripos_clone($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
die('Posting from another server not allowed!');
}
} else {
die($posttags);
}
}
|
and comment it out so it looks like this:
| Code: : |
// if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
// if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
// if (!stripos_clone($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
// die('Posting from another server not allowed!');
// }
// } else {
// die($posttags);
// }
} |
I had this same exact problem with a user of mine. I had the luxury of knowing this user and went over to his house to fix it. I found that his Norton Firewall had the Parental controls turned on. After turning the parental controls off and clearing cache, he is able to access.

NukeCode - That worked on my site - Thanks!
I still have to disable my anti virus when coming on here, however, but at least I'm not concerend with others' being able to access mine now.
