Just a heads up on this ... What actually works is to reverse your thinking
- you ban the anonymous users based on updated lists of anonymous proxies
I actually get it done at my firewall - we are a bit rude about it ... If
users come from any of the anonymous proxies around the world they just
don't see some of our managed servers - no redirection no nothing
Once an IP drops off the anonymous lists the users can get back in - there
are many publicly available anonymous proxy lists which you can use to block
with.
We find that we have greatly reduced the server attack attempts we are
getting - we also have a manually updated list of rogue IP which we clear on
a 3 monthly cycle
Cheers
