fighting against fake ip addresses?
Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 1:04 pm
Ok, here's the thing. I own a gaming site that is written mostly in php/hmlt/javascript. I am having a hell of a time fighting people using ip masking and fake ip software. I ban an ip from either the forums or the game site, and within hours they are back, same person, using a new ip. I deal with them all day every day in my forums. Others are doing it on the game site. I can't even block ip ranges, because the ranges are almost ever even close.
So, I am wondering what there may be out there in php html or javascript that can help with this. I have searched everything I can, I must not be wording the searches right, because I am not coming up with anything either here or google.
Is there someway of seeing past the ip software and seeing an actual ip address? What do we have available to fight this problem?
Thank you for reading, and thank you in advance for any one who responds.
