Blocking Proxys using htaccess

[halfpint]

What or which code is the best for blocking proxys using the .htaccess file. There seem to be so many different codes to use im kinda baffled

[alias]

order allow,deny
deny from 123.45.6.7
deny from 012.34.5.
allow from all

Slap that in your .htaccess to block "deny" ip addresses.

Why are you trying to block proxies? Are there some that you want to specifically block?

If not, I wouldn't worry about blocking anything that isn't a problem.

They are a problem on a mainstram game site when users use them to make up multi accounts to try and get ahead of other players The script logs all users IPs, transfers from game cash and items ect within the game from player to player and it is always the players who dont spend money on the game which gives them a very unfair advantage over players who have one account and spend money trying to get ahead of other players

Credit card fraudsters use proxies.
Most payment processors do not detect proxies well.
So perhaps, this is part of a loss protection system?

Impossible, maybe you can block some proxy sites but not direct unknown proxy surfer.
