There is a way to ban them, but it's theoretical, and it doesn't really work.
Any time a user comes from a proxy Apache is able to tell based on the incoming client where it's coming from. There are tell tale signs that it's a proxy. You would write a script that rejects those users. I've done it before. But here's the real problem.
Most of the proxies are anonymous. Fuckwads putting them up (frequently by hacking a weak server) then sharing the URL with a list of groups. Those proxies intentionally remove all hints of the proxy, and if that's the case there is no way to block them without a TON of work. And even if it were done there are thousands of new proxies every day.
that being said, one thing you can do is install a hack I used which would tell me whenever someone used a different account name with an existing IP address. Frequently the dummies doing the browsing aren't bright enough to be unique ALL the time, and you'll catch them often.
The most probable issue is that sherdog has a bunch of people inputting proxies to ban. But they aren't catching all of them. No way.
