How to block VPN/proxy traffic from accessing my faucet?

[AdolfinWolf]

Anyone got any ideas how to block VPN/proxy traffic from accessing my faucet?


 I have tried to use blocked.com, (https://www.blocked.com/install.php)

but i am unable to install it correctly, it gives an infinite loop error.

Are there any other Apis/sites which offer such services (for free/small fee's) ?

YUP, yesterday i coded and installed getipintel, however for some reason i gained a huge amounts of requests, which was over the daily limit, which got me autobanned.
I am now looking for alternatives, but its hard to find some. The .htaccess is far from effective, it doesn't work. Any other suggestions? I saw nastyhosts, but i have no idea how to integrate it into my site. Any tips?

BitBlabber worked with NastyHosts and IPHub. I really love IPHub.

You can use http://getipintel.net, it comes highly recommended by some that run faucets. Make sure you put in the correct information for API usage.

There you go, Nastyhosts, place the code on top of header.php or the main faucet page, it will block 95% of proxy IPs

Code:

<?php
$result = file_get_contents("http://v1.nastyhosts.com/".$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]);
$result = json_decode($result, true);
if($result["suggestion"] == "deny) {
    die("Banned");
}
?>

You left out a quotation also i modified so they can go to the page but not claim... just put above captcha check in index. I havent tried this for bot but im crossing my fingers.

Code:

<?php
$result = file_get_contents("http://v1.nastyhosts.com/".$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]);
$result = json_decode($result, true);
if($result["suggestion"] == "deny") {
    die("Banned");
}
?>

new code:

Code:

<?php
 $result = file_get_contents("http://v1.nastyhosts.com/".$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]);
$result = json_decode($result, true);
if($result["suggestion"] == "deny") {
  $view['main']['result_html'] = '<div class="row text-center"><div class="col-sm-6 col-md-offset-3 bg-danger"><p>Sorry Proxy not allowed If not on a proxy ,i still cant help you !!</p></div></div>';
    $message                     = "Proxy Detected";
    goto error; 
  }
 if(@fsockopen($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 80, $errstr, $errno, 1))
{ 
  $view['main']['result_html'] = '<div class="row text-center"><div class="col-sm-6 col-md-offset-3 bg-danger"><p>Sorry Proxy not allowed If not on a proxy ,i still cant help you !!</p></div></div>';
    $message                     = "Proxy Detected";
    goto error; 
  }
?>

NastyHosts is good, but I prefer IPHub.info

Contact the owner if you have huge amounts of requests: He's a cool guy.

I've tried NastyHosts and IPHub both, they catch maybe 60% proxy / VPN ips. Getipintel caught all but 1 IP from my testing. W I T C H with MSS values is also accurate for just VPNs only. If you really care to block VPN / proxy traffic maybe test your data first against each service and see which one works best for you.

[BitBustah]

Well, I think IPHub catches 85-90% of VPN traffic. It's the job of the faucet owner to check his users/IPs daily. It's no laid-back job.
