By reading that variable it's possible to find the real IP but with a Webserver Module - at least for Apache, dunno about others, you can do the same.
Just - point is - just do a Search in your favorite Search Engine for "anonymous proxies" and you'll find a lot of them, most of them are non working. Problem is just that having a blocklist you need to update to add or remove proxies, well, a waste of time.
I just want to say that it's nearly impossible to block all proxies without a false positive and we shouldn't forget that there're still countries in this world which block sites - these people need proxies to bypass any filters to access the web freely.

What works for spam filters in blacklisting dynamic IP's doesn't make sense everywhere else - sorry

I was trying that mod and was getting the same conclusion of yours. When I saw your comments here sound like a spark for me. That's true.
Tks

I have tow questions:
1- is there anyway to know if work or not?
2- does this mod have any issue with this one here:

Just try to access your board with different proxies ;)

Bear in mind that not many proxy servers pass on these details now.

JFYI, this was originally written for Cable Forum four years ago because the UK ISP that our forum is about (ntl as was, now called Virgin Media) used to force all its customers to browse via transparant proxy servers that did pass on these details. This is no longer the case but I have continued to maintain it anyway. Its quite likely that when vb4 comes out I will probably not bother porting it anymore.

Is there any proxies that this is known to work for because I have tested it and I don't find one that seems to make it work. I know you said that it has to pass the right info. I have tried like 6 or 7 proxies.

Do we have to do the file edits? For some reason it still seems to work even though I have not edited any files.

I still think you should port it. Most proxy websites like proxy.org, uses the same methods you are talking about, and I have caught many members who I have banned and they have made second accounts.

It cannot possibly work unless you edit the file.
