Sorry about it.

I have a script that tries to detect if the visitor is using a proxy
and I block that access.

The purpose of that is to prevent my site being scraped (live copy
using a proxy - these may end up getting indexed in search engines)
and also to prevent abuse that I have experienced from people using
anonymizer proxies who want to order from me or just plain use my
contact form anonymously. I have no use for those visitors.

Unfortunately that script can trigger what amounts to a false positive
in some circumstances. Satelite internet connections and some
institutional proxies also show the same symptoms and I cannot tell
them apart from the nasty ones.

I keep trying to tweak it but it seems to still trip.

I will have to check my logs to see if I can find your visit and see
just what my script detected.

Hi Shruthi,

If you are now able to access my site, then it must be that your
browser is not sending through an "ACCEPT ENCODING" value.
I was checking that there is a value, and if not, assumed it was
because a proxy was used. I removed that restriction now.

So what website problem can I help you with?

Sorry I don't know about Adsense stuff.
As long as you don't click your own ads you should be OK.
If anybody clicks too many of them but it cannot be traced back to you, you
are ok, but the clicks wont' be counted either.
At least that's what I think.
