These servers allow a user to use an IP that is not their own and will change whenever they access the internet again, this results in virtually eliminating any search to find out where and who is using your site. <br /> NOT all users of Proxies are spammers or hackers, but generally and most often are.<br /> It is known users who have AOL as an ISP, sometimes have access problems using YaBB, due to the tendency of AOL changing the users IP while online during a session.<br /> Disabling Blocking of Proxies does not provide any access security problems, but as stated does allow users to hide from any reverse search to verify where they have ISP service or their State or Country they are from.
