dose this also block dial-up users? /; me being on the waste of a time system.. i wouldent want 2 ban my self /;

I could be wrong, but I think there is some confusion here by some posters. Yes many ISPs like AOL send their members through proxy servers. In the context of this plugin and plugins similar to it; however, people are referring to blocking anonymous open proxies that are listed in realtime black hole lists. Open proxies can be used by any user who points their internet settings to the proxy or uses the proxy's web interface. These types of proxies are often used by individuals to get around a banning or to hide where they are really coming from because they are up to no good. These types of plugins aren't designed to nor would they block closed proxies that ISPs use to improve the efficiency of their systems.

silly question but whay can't you just paste this list into ban IP space on Vbulletin options

sorry to bring back a old topic and thread but this dont work to well... if you goto Anonymouse.org it will let you register right away on any site with this installed...

Anonymous proxy servers do not advertise the fact they are proxies, so you cannot detect them other than by IP address.

Can't you combine the usage of this hack and the RBL plugin?
