Cheating Affiliate
| Posted by xcpd, 04-13-2012, 02:26 PM |
| Hello,
We are running a file host service and we are paying our affiliates with an amount of money per 1000 downloads. Today we noticed something really weird on how a user is achieving his downloads. Referrers show that all IPs belong to Opera.com.
Does anyone know how could this happen? Example of IP's: 141.0.9.121, 141.0.9.204, 141.0.11.69, 141.0.10.77.
Thanks!

| Opera's mobile browser goes through a proxy. Maybe that's what you are seeing? What's the browser identifying itself as?

| As trustedurl posted, Opera Mini goes through a proxy, and depends on device but would identify itself along the lines of:
If all or most downloads from one affiliate however are coming back as Opera IP's, that's probably not genuine.

| Thank you everyone! Indeed it was Opera Turbo! Looks like all requests go through Opera's servers.
Thanks again. Love WHT!
