Checking the host name will not work either since they might be hosted in a hosting company which will provide the hosting company's host name rather than the proxy's. Checking by referrer will not work either. hidemyass.com is a good example of a proxy which is impossible to block. You should mention that those .htaccess tricks will not work if the proxy is

than the proxy’s.

I suggest you backup your htaccess first and apply the tweaks in conjuncture to the ones on htaccess reviewed, as one two have better variation in the later post. Also check out perishable press's 3G blacklist; and let me know how it goes. WP-spam free is very good except it has the possibility of ‘false positives’ hence why I ignored it for my setup.

First i installed wp-comment-stopper plugin. It was working fine but my readers using IE where unable to do so. then i switched to Peter's Anti-spam plugin. but, it was not properly working because i am using wp-super-cache. Today morning, i installed WP-Spam-Free. But, after reading this post. I think i should disable it for a while and put all your entries and see whether spam is reduced or not. Thank you very much. This post is deserved to be in my Friday Link Party Donace, this post has stumped me!
