/sigh... no shit the registration piece works on HTTP. But guess what? Currently there's no apparent direct partnership between P99 and eqemulator.org (that I'm aware of).

Again, you were presenting the software as something that would solve the problem now, as in under the current arrangement. Why else would you say "if we all pitch in"? Nice try to retrofit what you were suggesting, though! Unfortunately for you, I'm not as dumb as you're trying to make me out to be. Keep trying to school me even though software/web development is what I do for a living, kiddo.

I did read how the software works. I've worked with proxies both from a client and server perspective. Have you? Somehow I doubt it.

So here's lesson #1: it doesn't matter if a proxy server can issue hundreds of unique IP addresses. You wouldn't block registration at the individual IP level. In many cases you'd get away with simply banning the first two octets, though realistically you'd probably need to go the third octet. Granted, you're potentially blocking some innocent people in that case but that'd have to be handled on an individual basis. The bottom line is you don't need to track thousands and thousands of IPs.

Class dismissed.

Except the person who owns/runs EQEmulator happens to be a project manager and also run the servers for Project 1999.
