Unfortunately you have to use MaxMind for it which charge $200 per 40,000 queries and just wouldn't be viably cost worthy.

MaxMind is the one which keeps up to date lists of known proxies.

40000 queries for 200$ isnt expensive at all.

Totally worth it, if its used to check every premium activation

I have this mod, no one can cheat, (anti-cheating, proxy, software...etc). I rent someone on freelancer to do it.

they have a software use proxy to generate fake download/views and earn money.

Example, somebody buy a membersip. It's ok.
After few hours, i see a payment hold at my paypal. Hmm...

Story is short. He purchased account from proxy ( Netherland ).
After downloading he log into his paypal ( from real ip USA ), and he make a complaint. "He never want this service and i store copyrighted material".
And i can do what? Nothing! Refund...

And

Easy to bypass "Max bandwidth last X days" change IP and used bandwidth is zero again. I see 24GB traffic on accounts, but daily limit is 5GB.

Maybe an advanced downloader/uploader client, with a MAC address or Motherboard/HDD serial check need. This old IP identification is outdated, impossible to ban users/clients.

we can only do MAC address checks as anything to do with your pc hardware is pretty much impossible without asking them to install some sort of scanning software first.

Why not limit bandwidth to accounts instead of IP?

Maybe block list help to stop identity scammers.
'payer_id' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX', its a fixed ID, no way to change!
Admin opinion please!
