That's gonna be hard, because there are lots and lots of proxy servers out there and they come and go all the time. Essentially it's a large set of constantly moving targets. IP banning may not be a practical way for you to control access to the site.

Maybe there's another way to do it.....what kind of site is it, and what's the basic reason for banning them?

You can block the *special* headers that 99% of proxies use to view/visit your site.

Hello guys

Thanks , i have fixed this prob by adding this code in all the page :

PHP Code:

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) || ($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']=='') || ($_SERVER['HTTP_VIA']!='')){
        die("Don't use Proxy server please");
}

$proxy_headers = array(   
    'HTTP_VIA',   
    'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR',   
    'HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR',   
    'HTTP_X_FORWARDED',   
    'HTTP_FORWARDED',   
    'HTTP_CLIENT_IP',   
    'HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR_IP',   
    'VIA',   
    'X_FORWARDED_FOR',   
    'FORWARDED_FOR',   
    'X_FORWARDED',   
    'FORWARDED',   
    'CLIENT_IP',   
    'FORWARDED_FOR_IP',   
    'HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION'   
        );
foreach($proxy_headers as $x){
    if (isset($_SERVER[$x])) die("You are using a proxy!");
} 

and i have tested it by more than 30 proxy servers , it 100% work

Thanks For the comments

Damn, if that's all it takes then the entire proxy business would prolly be through the ground. As in dead as it were.

Should I set up a demo for your amusement? Get a list of proxies for disposal and I will gladly send you the link to a demo. Understanding how proxies work helps to understand how to prevent them...
