Hello, I'd like to hear from people if they have experience in tracking how many users are 'hidden' behind proxies that visit their site. How can I find out how many there are? From what I know all well-behaving proxies should add a X-Forwarded-For header with the real IP address of the client and other proxies in the path. Is X-Forwarded-For the only header for this? Rumour has it there are many other headerfields that might contain this information. Right now i log X-Forwarded-For with a LogFormat/CustomLog entry, but this gives me about 3% of our visitors that aren't measured because they come from one proxy IP. Our partners indicate that we measure about 20% to 30% less visitors as they do. And i'm wondering why / how that's possible. This might be a bit unapropriate for this list, but i don't really know where else to go with this question. Feel free to reply offlist if you feel this is off-topic. Thanks in advance, Sander Smeenk. -- | From the FidoNet tagline collection: | If it jams, force it.
