Systems and methods for detecting a proxy

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a set of computer-readable instructions, which, when executed in connection with a networking system comprising a web server, a domain name system (DNS) server and a database system, cause the networking system to perform a method for detecting a proxy, the method comprising:

• a. receiving at the web server a request from a client;
• b. responsive to the received request, generating a file containing a domain name information and a file name information and storing the domain name information and the file name information in the database system and returning the generated script file to the client;
• c. receiving a DNS request on the DNS server, the DNS request specifying a domain name specified in the file generated by the web server;
• d. responsive to the received DNS request, storing a first origination IP address associated with received DNS request and the domain name information in the database system;
• e. receiving at the web server a second request from a client, the second request with a file name information specified in the web server response (a);
• f. responsive to the received second request, storing a second origination IP address associated with received second request and the second file name information in the database system;
• and
• g. determining whether the second origination IP is the proxy based on information stored in the database system.

A computerized system for detecting a proxy, the system comprising:

• a. a database system;
• b. a web server for:
• receiving a request from a client;
• and
• responsive to the received request, generating a file containing a domain name information and a file name information and storing the domain name information and the file name information in the database system and returning the generated script file to the client;
• c. a domain name server (DNS) for:
• receiving a DNS request on the DNS server, the DNS request specifying a domain name information for a domain name to be resolved;
• and
• responsive to the received DNS request, storing a first origination IP address associated with received DNS request and the domain name information in the database system,
• wherein:
• the web server receives a second request from a client, the second request specifying a file name information specified in the first response of the web server;
• responsive to the received second request, the web server stores a second origination IP address associated with the received second request and the second file name information in the database system;
• and
• the proxy is detected based on information stored in the database system.
