Hi Roland,

If the location is revealed by the proxy, then that must be a feature unique to that particular proxy (this is not typical) so I would not expect all proxys to provide this for you.

Have you tried an HTTP sniffer yet, to see the request information? There might be a custom property like x-originating-ip or something.

Hope it works out for you.

Scott,

A friend who wanted to go to a site that does not allow US visitors, used a proxy service located in the UK. The site knew his browser was coming from the US. I had him hit my server using the proxy, and it shows an IP from Germany. Somehow the proxy does change the IP, but still reveals the location - somehow. That intrigued me, and now we're looking for what it may be using to detect country of origin.

How can a server detect the country of origin of a browser when the browser is set up to go through a proxy in a different country?
