In reference to a question asked by Frequento Solo Fabrizio Corona in the cafe.

He wanted to block all users using a proxy in his chatroom.
Is it possible to do so?
If so how?
if not, is it possible to make a metis script to block proxies?

Cheers

the problem is.. how do you know?
they connect from an ip that you see, & as far as i know there's NO reliable way to know if it's theirs, or someone else's they're proxying through...

consult a database? metis probably could, but where would you find an up to date one?

basically you pretty much can't, one ip is much like another

Choose a proxy from this list. It stays current for a week or so.

http://winmx.dnsalias.com/proxies

Using Metis, put this somwhere with an appropriate trigger and/or in an OnJoin command:

<out type="push" extdata="Proxy"><operator type="readfile" nvalue="<Drive>\<Path>\<ProxyFile>" lvalue="c" rvalue="-1"/></out>

My values for above are:

<Drive> = C:
<Path> = Program Files\Metis
<ProxyFile> = ProxyList.txt

This will fill the var $Proxy$ with all the proxy IP's for fast searching.

Put this somewhere in your OnEnter structure:

<out condition="?" lvalue=$Proxy$ rvalue=%IP%>/opmsg %NAME% is using a proxy</out>

and/or this

<out condition="?" lvalue=$Proxy$ rvalue=%IP%>/kickban %IP%</out>

It's not one proxy site but a list of about twenty, using a python script to collect and sort them into the proxy list file. I can't therefore give you the url lol.
