Use a free service like Black Box Proxy Block to check if an IP address is associated with an open proxy server.

Black Box Proxy Block: http://www.shroomery.org/ythan/proxyblock.php

Guys, check this: https://www.blocked.com/index.php

There is a service created by the company behind FaucetBox (http://www.nastyhosts.com) which does something similar though perhaps with better accuracy. NastyHosts checks hostnames in addition proxies and TOR, and also reports suspicious IP addresses through it's implementation in the FaucetInABox script[1].

The problem here is that this protection doesn't block the bot/proxy/TOR access to your site. The validation of the IP just occurs during the claim action. I think that implementing an access block is more effective. When false users access your site false statics will flood your analytics and Adsense data...

We can block all this amount of proxies domains?

Could be of any use?

I do prefer to use dynamic requests to proxies blacklist servers/API. Proxy servers can change their domains and IP all the time. Is hard to make an effective block just preventing their access from an IP.
