How does dnsstuff.com redirect me to their warning web page when I
have to proxy in my settings...that would be a good tool for me to have...
It doesn't.
It would actually be easier to do that; you can just look for several
HTTP headers that indicate that a proxy is being used (such as
X-Forwarded-For: or Via:). Someone familiar with PHP or ASP or a
similar language should be able to do that fairly easily.
However, at dnsstuff.com, web proxies are always allowed to access the
site. Unless, however, they are web proxies that are attacking us
(several viruses have been written that cause a large amount of traffic
to dnsstuff.com). Unfortunately, no major web proxy yet has a way to
force web pages to be cached (and as we know, one of the main reasons
for web proxies is to cache any and all pages that are cachable!). So
we can't stop the attacks, which means that we have to block the web
proxies that are attacking us. So what we do is add the IP of any web
proxy that is attacking us to a list, and then any time someone tries
connecting from that IP, we send the message about the web proxy.
