Any way to know if someone is using a proxy?

[aliskorn]

Hello guy,there's plenty of discussion on this forum on how to change ips and be anonymous on the web,BUT is there any way to find out if somebody used a proxy to complete your cpa offers? I don't want to find out their ip,i just want to know if it's possible to find out IF they used a proxy.So? Any proxy savvies here?

Any good proxy checker (the same script you call to check them initially as the user) should be able to tell you. Go to:

http://www.proxyblind.org

or

http://www.ip.cc/check-proxy-basic.php

and you'll see the sort of info you're looking for. Just download a proxy judge script from somewhere and throw it up on your site.

For TOR and the like, there're scripts to auto-detect that too:

Of course, in that case you could also just monitor the TOR IP list from their own site and auto-block all those addresses. Stupid TOR, I never understand why people keep advocating it.

There are a few ways. If it's not a good anon proxy it will pass their real IP address through in the headers. Otherwise you can check it against known proxy lists. Other than port scanning them (which I strongly recommend against) there really aren't any other ways of finding out easily. You could try a Java or ActiveX applet but they'll get an alert about it.

'...Depends what kind of proxy they are using. If using a high anonymity proxy with ActiveX and Java Script disabled, it's virtually impossible.

Like Orebil says, a poor standard anon proxy or a transparent proxy will pass on the real IP address.

If you know what you're doing you can be completely anonymous.

Yes/No...if they are an idiot and of course you can detect it, however if some one knows what they are doing and is using a highly anonymous private proxy the answers no

wow, your signature is annoyingly huge lowboman... i'm glad adblock works


Anyways, you could use a flash application as well. Using a direct socket connection to your http server and then call a script..
