The technical level it takes for someone to find a working proxy and use the proxy, would clearly know they are being blocked because they are on a proxy. Then again, even higher skilled people can just setup a dns proxy in, well pretty quick, and it not be on any list.

I wouldn't personally block every proxy from the start. But by having a list of known proxies I could at least better monitor them.

It's limited all around but all fraud protection is at some level, but stacking them one on top of other makes the overall difference.
