Minecraft Name: eekelmo Suggestion: To add something that auto-bans players that come from an 'anonymous proxy'. Reason: This would stop things such as spam attacks from occuring. Any Other Information: N/A Link To This Plugin: Can't find
:| Can't the server auto-check to see if someone has a 'normal' IP address or not? Forgive me, I'm not experienced with this stuff :3
The practice of proxying is basically just routing your internet through someone else's internet, as everybody uses the same "kind" of IP as you state it. Unless a lot of users come from the same IP; there is no real, practical, way to tell.
Oh, because I've seen on my old MC server I used to run that when someone came from a proxy it said this: <username> has joined from an anonymous proxy.
That's because a public proxy was used, they deliberately make it detectable, but this doesn't stop the proxies from spammers, or anyone with private proxies.
Then the server had a database of all known private proxies. The only reason an anonymous proxy is "anonymous" is because that a server is separating the IP of the client from the IP of our receiving server; and the IP that connected was a known proxy. EDIT: Ninja. :c
