It looks like this board is no longer self respecting webmasters board. Mostly trolls post here in common day.
But since I saw your question and and there is still no reliable answer I think I will try just for good karma. the-proxy-list.com seems to hit many sites/IPs recently. I'm not sure what is the purpose but probably they are just gathering a list of proxy servers as the main reason, that's logical. Yes, you can block them putting the right rule in .htacess file or globally in httpd.conf file. (probably blocking refer domain would be best choice here) This will however not prevent from seeing it in a server logs, you will just see instead that it was blocked or redirected (whatever will be your choice of the action). But you should not be worried about it. The internet noise like this has already existed since ages and every day your server will be pounded by analytic companies, security agencies, hackers, spam bots and who knows what else. Thats why you should clean your server logs once a few days or a few weeks, or at least once a few months to prevent them from growing to enormous size. That's all bout it. Next time maybe try stackexchange or something more webmaster like...
