Block anonymizers?
| Posted by Darvil, 11-24-2010, 05:22 PM |
| Just wondering if there was a way I can grab a database of anonymizers on the web (if there is or at least alot of it) and just somehow pipe it to a firewall like csf?
Or even iptables?
I was just wondering if someone here might know as I've come up a bit empty.

| You could technically block a whole bunch of IP's in a firewall but that may block legitimate connections coming from those sources as well. Not to mention it will increase the size of your deny file if you're not using HW based FW (iptables).
What may be best for you is to block it in .htaccess, here's are code I looked up not long ago, found it online somewhere, try placing it in the root directory's .htaccess file:

| Hey thanks.
Unfortunately, I started using nginx for my webserver and I'm not sure how to modify that. Will have to ask someone.
Would this block most anonymizers?

| Just the crappy ones that actually send those certain HTTP headers. Any decent anonymizer will not send those headers. Unfortunately, it's impossible to block all anonymizers because there's no database of them anywhere and new ones pop up every day.

| Really? I guess there isn't a business reason to really have something like that. IE softwares to ban porn sites.
How do hardware deal with this kind of problem?
I mean I figured it won't be easy but I didn't think it would be impossible.

| hi,
you cannot block all proxies why not ? because high anonymity proxies do not send the "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR" header and you can't block what's not there those proxies are hard to find through except if you know where to look usually the "bad guys" know...
