How to block access from proxy sites?

I want to block a country which brings just hackers or thieves to my site and no real sales. I know they will try to use proxies - how can I block them or at least make it as difficult as possible to access my sites?

you would lose legit traffic as well by blocking proxies, use geoip to block bad countries or a free cloudflare account to block known bad users

Basically you add this to your .htaccess file

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

 RewriteEngine on

 RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA}                 !^$ [OR]

 RewriteCond %{HTTP:FORWARDED}           !^$ [OR]

 RewriteCond %{HTTP:USERAGENT_VIA}       !^$ [OR]

 RewriteCond %{HTTP:X_FORWARDED_FOR}     !^$ [OR]

 RewriteCond %{HTTP:PROXY_CONNECTION}    !^$ [OR]

 RewriteCond %{HTTP:XPROXY_CONNECTION}   !^$ [OR]

 RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR} !^$ [OR]

 RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_CLIENT_IP}      !^$

 RewriteRule .* - [F]

</IfModule>

And if you're using Wordpress you add this as the first line in your header file

Code:

<?php if(@fsockopen($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 80, $errstr, $errno, 1)) die("Proxy access not allowed"); ?>

Haven't tested it myself but you might want to give that a shot

I use geoip and strongbox to block countries where a high level of fraud and file sharing originated.
Losing a handful of possible legit sales is worth it for less headache!
