You want to list millions of IPs don't you? :stickout:

?

I want to ban them from signups.

I suppose you could have a PHP script do a dnslookup of each IP against a dnsbl of proxies but, that isn't a complete list.

You'll never get a list of all anonymous proxies, you *could* i guess look for a script that'll check IP's being used at registration for the common proxy ports being open like 80,3128,8080 etc etc but some people do use proxies for genuine reasons.

Me for example, because of who i work for and that i'm on a LAN my IP appears as a proxy, and i remember being turned away from at least one service in the past that i genuinely wanted to sign up for. Sure i can switch to a "regular" IP but didn't see why i should bother, so they lost my business.

If you want to do this to prevent fradulent orders of a product or service, you'd be far better to thouroughly check all other details such as the address, phone number (does the area code match the home address etc) and if it's a c/card order call them up.

If you just want to ban proxies in general from a forum or something, you'll only end up annoying a few people and make them more determined to want to get on the site and cause trouble (if that was their intention to start with)

I wouldn't even try, many people use them for non-spam / scam / illegal reasons, and there are just too many to block.

There are some signs of common proxies you can look for beyond the IP as well. The presence of these server vars could tip you off:

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_VIA']
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL']
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']

Someone posted a possible solution here in PHP:

There is a website that I know of that has a list of about 7,500 ip's of known hackers or spammers. http://nukecops.com it is a site dedicated to php-nuke, but a hacker is a hacker is a hacker ya know! I have included allthe ip's given in my ban list, so thats 7,500 hackers I dont have to worry about ;)
