Just to post again feature requests, not to be overlooked, if not accepted. :)

Anyway, it's a copy&paste from news comments forum:

Just to mention that would be great if you could include proxy checking at registration.

Of course, this could go in this mod, or in mod (still in considering, at least I hope you consider it) for prevention of user's cloning.

I have pretty annoying banned users who clone themselves daily as soon as they get banned. And of course, they use proxies for that. I know this is a whole new field, support for proxy checks, but this would be great new feature that would appeal to many forum owners.

And if you decide to implement, I suggest that upon detecting proxy, we could choose if registration is not allowed, user is put in moderated usergroup (defined by us), thread and/or post in defined thread is created and/or PM is sent to certain user(s) and of course, using proxy server notification is entered in user's profile for moderators to see in any case.

I'll just chime in here with something, since it's currently In Progress: Proxy checks are by no means a guarantee. The proxy server can choose to not reveal to the world it's a proxy - these are called Anonymous Proxies. If one of those is being used, then it will be impossible to detect that they are proxies.
 
This feature has been implemented via means of the Proxy criteria. As noted by Fillip H. above, it cannot detect anonymous proxies.
