Well, it might be possible to design an applet that pulled someone's
public IP (maybe by polling your site directly? Have to make sure not
local IP) then cross that against the request origin into Tomcat; if
they don't match then that could be construed as a Proxy situation.  I
am not sure how a proxy would handle an applet making such a request;
that would predicate this working or not.

See Thread at: http://www.techienuggets.com/Detail?tx=41765 Posted on

Is there anyway to detect that a web user is trying to access my site
via an open/anonymous proxy? Other than building a list of open proxy IP
addresses and checking against it? This list would be huge and ever
changing. There must be an easier way. Sorry if this post is slightly
OT.

Thanks
