    hi,

    I am working on a topsite script, similar to http://xtremetop100.com/

    and would appreciate if you could tell me which would be the best way to prevent users from using proxies to multivote on my website.

    thanks.

    best way is to get a list of proxies and try to get there ip addresses and save them to a database and check current vote ip against that table! if it exists its a proxy! :)

    You use a cookie on their computer to tell the server they voted that would reduce some of it, however cookies can be deleted.
    I have had some success using both cookie and IP proxie detection but the best method is to use log in and session
    Good luck
