| Dissallow Proxy Access Is it possible to prevent users accessing your site via a proxy server. I am having trouble with people using Proxy's to mask themselves after been banned. Is it possible to force people to use there own IP, and not piggyback on a proxy?

| I know there's a hack on vB.org to check for known proxy servers... | ||||

| Thank Ryan, that might just do the trick. I'd rather not do this but people just keep coming back using a Proxy to mask there IP to avoid my IP bans. I hate people who just won't give up.

I'd love to block proxies as well, using vB, but I was told doing so would keep AOL'ers from being able to use the site - and sadly, thats a LARGE portion of our user base. | ||||

| oh true. I am considering moving it up to vB though, would make things so much simpler.
