    I have a forum,


    Now, sometimes idiots spam us and we have to IP Ban them, or in tonights case they attack us, I'd like to know how i can block proxies from entering our forums.

    I have seen it done before on another site.

    Please help.

    not sure if this'll work but

    you could always block individual ips once they come up but then again since most use proxies on shared hosts, there are others you want to access your sites so blocking ip is not a good option. Try the one above

    Hi thanks

    However that didnt work.

    I have an IPB Forum. Now this seemed to blocked a member on my forum :S Strange..

    He wasn't using a proxy, he was from Singapore I believe he was on a dynamic ip.
