TOR Banning

[Watched]

i know this is probably an absurdly stupid question.. but i have a member who INSISTS on using TOR (the onion router) to evade bans and post profanity to my forums.. recently, he's also stooped to defacing and destroying the forums i bust my BUTT to build.. he ALWAYS hides behind TOR when he does this though.. and i know that if you go to tor's website.. they can detect when you're using a connection behind the tor servers and when you're not.. so what i want to know is.. is there a hack or a something i can put into vb that will detect when a tor proxy is being used.. and if so.. simply display a 404 error page to that person? i only ask b/c tor is making my life and job miserable b/c of this 1 specific user who refuses to simply go somewhere else and instead harrasses the places he's not wanted.

I can't answer your query about the possible hack, but I can offer a temporary suggestion.

Record his email address, username combinations or whatever, delete his account and enable moderation of new user accounts. That way you can try and keep him out until you find a proper solution to getting rid of him.

Also, do you have any record of his real IP address from one of his earlier posts? If so, enter it here and you may find an email address you can use to report him to his ISP, and they should be able to completely block him from your site.

There is a proxy to real ip modification by Paul M that may well help.

Enable moderation of new user accounts and consider blocking registrations for free email providers for a period until you get rid of him.

Some other modifications that you may be interested in are the miserable users hack and the 404 error ban

proxy to real ip only works if the proxy he's using supports the proper forwarding variables and thus does not detect elite proxys.. (much to my dismay)..

haven't enabled new user account moderation but that's a good idea. .. .already blocked out several free email providers.

i've made him miserable til he has a fit.. manages to create himself a new account.. then goes about crapping my forum up and in recent cases, hacking into admin accounts and running amok on my forum. i've got 404 banning in effect.. but when he finally gets tired of that.. he hides behind TOR again.. thus restarting the whole cycle of CRAP. to make matters worse, the member is using the NTL UK isp... which puts all its members behind an invisible proxy to begin with.
