IP detection.

If you have been using the internet for sometime now, I suppose you must know what an IP address is. I am not an expert on this but I know that each computer that connects to the internet has its own IP address. The IP address will provide website owners, information about their visitors. For example, from which part of othe world they came from, what internet browsers they use, type of internet connection and etc.

So much so that if a visitor has been rather ‘naughty’, he or she can actually be banned from entering the website again with some internet tools. Unfortunately, IP address can actually be cloaked by using proxies. It is said that most likely those who use proxies to enter a website is up to no good - do a transaction online on an online store with fraudulent credit cards, spamming websites and forums, etc. New proxies are created nearly every day.

Therefore it is important for e-commerce website owners to understand how to detect visitors with proxies and blacklist them if need be. The way to do that, is by using a certain web-tool called IP2Proxy IP-COUNTRY Anonymous Proxy List from ip2location.com. This tool actually updates and generates a new proxy list every 24 hours. Just download these and upload it onto your system and they will be automatically blacklisted.

I can talk on and on, but the thing is, you should try it yourself. Read more about this on their website at ip2location.com, or even better, try out their demo account for free.
