prevent submission via proxy

[Free WordPress Themes]

Hi,

I found some code to check if someone is visiting your page via a proxy:


if (
      $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']
   || $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED']
   || $_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR']
   || $_SERVER['HTTP_VIA']
   || in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_PORT'], array(8080,80,6588,8000,3128,553,554))
   || @fsockopen($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 80, $errno, $errstr, 30))
{
    exit('Proxy detected');
}
?>

but it looks to me that its not working.

Actually I want that people can't submit my form if they are using a web proxy (phproxy or cgiproxy)

is this possible? I know that no headers are send with those anonymous proxies

There are many free lists, but none is updated enough. This one from maxmind is the best around.

In my opinion if you want a professional solution you need MaxMind's API. As they know the real owner of almost every ip address they can for sure determine if one is a proxy or not

I create a new form using Ajax for submission

That's a good one, but make sure that it wont work from javascript enabled proxies
