Blocking Ips via proxy

[SirChick]

Does any one know if PHP has the potential to block people using proxys to hide their real IP?

Because my site kinda suffers when there are cheaters with mutliple accounts with seperated Ips so i need a way to block proxy users.

I think the only way is blocking proxys with a proxy shield



Please add this to ur .htacsess


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http(s)?://(www\.)?a-bad_proxy.com.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http(s)?://(www\.)?a-bad_proxy.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* Google [L]


and test and reply back if it don't work

One question though AOL are considered to be using proxy server's aren't they? So wouldn't that block AOL users?

If you block proxy users and AOL users are using proxies then you will lose all your AOL users.

Is there no way to check AOL isp's thus i can script it to allow AOL users in ?
