I hope somebody can point me in the right direction here.
I am having issues with new members registering and using software such as Invisible Browsing 6.7 build 24, to hide their real identities, is there anyway of counteracting this kind of thing?

try this. copy this to your sites root .htaccess file

Code: Select all

 # block proxy servers from site access# [url=http]http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/0 ... -htaccess/[/url]  RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA}                 !^$ [OR]RewriteCond %{HTTP:FORWARDED}           !^$ [OR]RewriteCond %{HTTP:USERAGENT_VIA}       !^$ [OR]RewriteCond %{HTTP:X_FORWARDED_FOR}     !^$ [OR]RewriteCond %{HTTP:PROXY_CONNECTION}    !^$ [OR]RewriteCond %{HTTP:XPROXY_CONNECTION}   !^$ [OR]RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR} !^$ [OR]RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_CLIENT_IP}      !^$RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F]  

if this does not work for you , you might find more info on the site I found this on here
http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/0 ... -htaccess/

Thanks HelterSkelter ill try that and see how it goes.
Out of interest how will I know if its working? <img>

the easiest way it to try a couple free proxy sites and see if you can register an account on your site from them

Off course thanks mate

None seem to be working, I also tried this one below but still seem to be able to create a new account using a spoof IP

Code: Select all

In the htaccess file were abouts do you place the code above?
Below is whats already in the htaccess of my domain name.

Code: Select all

# -FrontPage-  IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*  <Limit>order deny,allowdeny from allallow from all</Limit><Limit>order deny,allowdeny from all</Limit>

first be sure that mod rewrite is enabled on your server. If you cannot find it in php.ini ask your host, then place the htaccess in your forum root

Were will the php.ini be located?

that depends on your server setup and OS, but the most common location for linux servers will be /usr/local/lib/php.ini
If you do not have a VPS or dedicated server, you will probably not have access to this file and you will have to ask your host

Its a shared linux server I am on with CPANEL <img>

I have contacted the host, they are in the states so should still be available <img>

Hya fella, I have decided to drop the idea of blocking proxy's, as it happens the delightful AOL use proxy's

O yeh almost forgot thanks from our almost 1000 members for helping to keep our free website safe and sound <img>

no problem and thanks for reminding me to put the donation link back in the footer...lol
