WANTED - DEV who can help me 'BOT PROOF' my site - iMacros etc.

[thefaucetrunner]

Hi!

My faucets are under attack my bots I believe, possibly iMacros based.

I am wondering if you guys could help me with some prevention methods? I want to foil the bots in any way I can (including adding Solvemedia to related forms if necessary!)

Anyone free to help?

Edit: Also, I need to know - is changing the interface something that would work? Changing the names of buttons, etc.

The only simple method to stop bots is often by picture captcha any other means might be available but certainly not free or cheap.

Changing the interface is a stop gap measure. You'll need to add a reliable captcha such as Google recaptcha or solvemedia.

You can block proxies and make the captcha filling form have random id's I suppose.

Please how can someone block proxies from accessing a website?

Simple. Compliant proxies send specific HTTP headers. You'll also see a lot of varying traffic from a given IP, with more distinct browser fingerprints that could be reasonably seen from a residential IP (at the risk of blocking possible corporate IPs). There's a list of Tor exit nodes available, if you want to block those.
