    I believe the issue is rather ... google doesn't like ads on proxy sites when people are viewing proxied pages (although ads can be on the site itself, until the proxy tool is actually used).

    I can't see them complaining about people who connect to the internet using a proxy - for anyone at a school/college/on a corporate lan this is unavoidable.

    So don't worry if someone is using a proxy to visit your site.

    Good luck.

    I have read it somewhere that google just discards the clicks coming from proxy based IP addresses.

    If so no problems. I just fear anything wrong with my account as i've a lot of visitors from developing counties, where Proxied networks are common.

    IMO, 75% of the proxies are used from students where universities doesn't allow all sites.

    it's true,
    i am from lebanon
    i m currently using a proxy of my server
    we work about 2000 persons on 1 ip, it really sucks
    if google allows proxies then anyone can set his browser using an anonymous proxy access the website and click the ads and they simply won't know.
