Obviously it heavily depends what way of mailing one is using. If you use an external/seperate mail server for relaying there is no need for DKIM configuration within XF. If you use the built-in mailer you will have the need, if you want to use DKIM.

@Osman : Wow! Tanks for the quick feature implementation and the fantastic update!

As written further up in this thread: This is what some companies (like i.e. proxycheck.io) do and it can possibly be assumed that CF does this as well. No doubt that it helps in many ways with diagnosis, however: The IPs change frequently, there is a ton of these proxy providers, they change...

The issue with resident proxies is that they are rotating very fast. Typically, a single IP does only one single request (and within that one single call that leaves out elements of the webpage like JS, tracking or pictures, depending from how the scraper is configured). One can often identify...

The pricing of proxycheck.io is affordable in my opion: https://proxycheck.io/pricing/ The add on builds up a blocking list and countries are checked via a local maxmind database in the meantime. After a couple of weeks and with the actual version of the add on roughly 2/3 of the IPs visiting...

I am using it too and like it. Solid and does work very well since the latest versions. However: I would not sign this: By default it misses most of the resident proxies. It does catch data center based stuff to a high degree. To block resident proxies you have to block ASNs or countries with...

Another finding: At least one company that offers residential proxies: does also offer prescraped datasets for use with AI: So it seems they extended their business model. As usual they claim to only have "ethically sourced" residential proxies - which seems barely plausible, given the...

From your initial post I got the impression that you expected a bugfix to be created for a six year old version of XF that has been out of support and outdated for many years and at the same time expected that a bugfix within 2.3.8 would magically be integrated in 2.1.12. ;) Sorry for the...

... but also shows how close they are to being a monopoly and what risk is therefor tied to that company. Also, they may at any time change their behavior, products and TOS to the worse and people will have no alternative as there is no real competition and people forgot how to do the stuff...

It was reported in 2025 for XF 2.3.6 and marked as solved for XF 2.3.8. You are running according to your post, which dates back to 2020. So you are riding a very dead horse. Given that: How would you be able to judge that the issue would not have been solved in 2.3.8 despite stated?

Given what has been written in the other thread about the experiences with cloudflares free tier vs. residential proxies and what the providers of resident proxies write about it ("no problem for us") I do have some doubts. Did you read the extensive thread that is linked further up? There is a...

How do you come to that conclusion? It is available via it's resource page for free and klicking on "download" flawlessly downloads a file called ChunkedUploads-1.0.4.zip.

The XF manual does: https://docs.xenforo.com/manual/access-privileges The permission concept of XF follows a stringent logic but is somewhat confusing at first (and sometimes a bit annoying later). In principle for each permission you can set "yes", "no" or "never" for each user group. As to...

The recommended PHP version for XF 2.3.x is PHP 8.3.

A bit chaotic, as he has started the issue in another thread and is now discussing his problem in the problem thread of another user. His stracktrace is probably the one in his original thread...
