Hello! I am very experienced in the proxy detection field, and I will be able to help curb your false IP count. The approach I would take with this project is, first, establishing known users abusing your platform. I will develop PHP headers that will automatically forward proxy-based IPs and blacklisted IPs to a 404 page. This is crucial because it will automatically cross-reference each HTTP request to your site with a known list of proxy and VPN IPs, as well as residential Chinese and Russian IPs. This approach will also block datacenter IPs, which will aid in curbing false requests. The next step I would take is blocking specific HTTP headers that are a result of public proxy usage. These requests often come with HTTP headers that are a result of malicious proxy usage. From there, we will block both blacklisted IP ranges of Chinese and Russian servers as well as HTTP headers. Please send me a direct message so I can get more information about your requirements, and be sure to check the Milestones for a more detailed, step by step approach. I look forward to assisting you with your project, and I can't wait to work with you! :)
