I would like to be able to detect, for instance, people who are using the TOR browser when they attempt to log in to one of my sites. I have only ran into one other site that has the capability of doing this, in terms of talking about forums only, and that is MrExcel: https://www.mrexcel.com/board/
if you try to register an account there with TOR, the page renders and says “we have detected you are trying to use automated queries to register an account”. there are of course, ways to get around that, if you click buttons in a timely manner, so they are not THAT good. but regardless, the pre-packaged software they bought does the job fairly well.
that’s a great message, but it doesn’t tell the user exactly what they’re doing wrong. can anyone offer any help in this regard? I know for a fact that most of the big banks in the USA have this covered, so I know that technology exists to block traffic coming from these sources, but I don’t know if it’s available to the little guy like me. thanks.
