Dragen Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to ban proxys from accessing certain parts of my site.. here's my code: <?php if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])){ echo "yes"; }else{ echo "no"; } ?> As expected when I access the page it outputs no, but I just did a google search for proxy servers to test with and I when I used it, it still outputted no. Surely it should've been yes if I'm using a proxy... could anyone help me here? Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/51232-http_x_forwarded_for-to-ban-proxy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragen Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 I've just read a bit about proxys and seems like if they're using a High Anonymous Proxy, then it looks just like a normail connection and you wont be able to tell... so would the best option be to get a list of proxy ips and block them all?
