I wonder...do anti click fraud programs detect traffic send via anonymizers?

Run a number of clicks on our just downloaded test version and ooopppsss, 'fraud' traffic was not detected. Also no IP recognition pop up/i.e. block of repeat visitor.

anyone....?

Hi,

Wearing my AS hat...

I simply don't let visitors see my main site (403 Forbidden) if they try to visit my site via a compromised machine or most anon/open proxies.

Saves me 5--10% bandwidth and lets me sleep a little easier at night.

Even if they detected traffic from some anonymizers, would it work for all of them? Especially if the anonymizer was set up with the specific purpose of hiding the source of fraudulent behavior?
