Fierce God Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Crazy, crazy question So i believe it's a persons right, or can do this legally?, to be able to visit a website and have their IP address invisible or not be shown to public/admin of website So the crazy question is: Is there a way to, or can I, make it somehow that if a visitor/guest is trying to view my website and they have their IP non showing/non showable/or invisible that they can not access the site at all, like block them, show a msg of site not accessible?

Doing that may not be desirable. For examples, University users may be behind a proxy, ISPS use proxies etc. It would be like blocking a corporate Person named Microsoft and everyone on their network behind the person would be blocked. There are legitimate reasons to be behind a proxy, not everyone behind a proxy is being deceptive. I think you'll run the risk of blocking lots of legit users. Someone correct if wrong!

Ryan Ashbrook Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 While it's technically possible, it's not necessarily feasible. There could be many reasons one might use a proxy / VPN. For instance, we here use a secure VPN. Universities are another thing entirely. VPN services are becoming more and more popular these days.

Chris027 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Anonymous VPNs are the bane of my existence. We block users for egregious behavior and we have no way of know they’ve come back under a new name because we can correlate their IP address with anything. 99% of our bad users can be identified easily if they don’t use a VPN. We’ve tried blocking entire Class C blocks and AS numbers through Cloudflare as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
