    You can use RBL/DNSBL for it It will block most of the proxy ip, even few genuine ip, but it might help.

    Also be choosy with RBL, don't select very strict RBL like spew.

    That's an old method that is no longer useful.

    I think that RBL usage is your solution. Using any methods won't protect you against SOCKS5... as you will never know whether it is a proxy or not
