Have you blocked proxies with your .htaccess file? Have you noticed your traffic has slowed down? Yes you have blocked proxies but 99% are not bots! Most people use a proxy from their paid service that use proxies.So you are blocking your good traffic. Try using a proxy and doing faucets... it's not easy, they might do it for an hour and will get sick of it quick. Think about it ...you will need a lot of addresses ,change your ip ,do captchas to get into the site and do captchas to get a claim. So you double your work...don't believe me??  Try using TOR and try just twice. And another thing is this,most advertising bots use a proxy so they can't scan your site to submit to search engines.  If a user is using a proxy to scam he or she will still click on your ads if they want. So it might be worth it as well because in the long run he or she will stop doing it and do normal claims and eventually click on  ads.If you block they won't go back to your site even if they have good intentions.  good luck & best regards , Gifted

I'm working on a open source faucetbox faucet and it's protected against proxy. After the user solved the captcha, he'll see a error that he use Proxy and he don't receive the reward.
Perhaps it's better to block VPS because a VPS is a good thing to run bots.

The best thing to do is just use funcaptha  . blocking vpn is  a proxy. my earnings have doubled since i took off anti-proxy.

I see. While reCaptcha and Solvemedia show Images to choose or entering letters from image is this a easy job. Funcaptcha is a hard job for "Solve Captcha Service".
I'll integrate Funcaptcha. Thank you.

Do not share this idea, if it allows proxies, vpn, vps etc... they dry the faucet in hours.
The vps come over and over again by changing his IP.

And it's better than people that hack faucets for more than $500 an hour! Sites like freebitco.in are frequently hacked by users, these users can earn over $350 in total from doing this (hacking both the bitcoin version and doge version). Possibly why it is a good idea to only get one fixed reward amount for ever time someone logs on to it.

I was blocked by a website, the only one ever.
They blocked me once before, then I was allowed back on, a few days later I got blocked again.
I am a real person not a bot  Grin

Yes, no fault of yours though, I heard that Virgin media changes my ip from 82.26.120.78 to some other ip
What I do not know?

I had advised a friend, the problem is that I blocked to Virgin Media I'm not sure if it distributes dedicated servers.
Now try and let me know.

virgin media subs out customers to prox because they have more sales then they can handle.. hence another reason blocking proxy is no good

One thing I dont understand here is difference between blocking address on .htaccess file and blocking proxies with script. I am using first mentioned method and not second method at the moment.

Ok. Thanks. I guess the script method is more powerfull, because you have update .htaccess file frequently, but not script...
