I thought of that. The thing is that I used one of the fraud IP's and it did
not show up in the blacklists. I can't afford that. I am planning on
checking the blacklists first then scanning. If possible reporting back the
blacklists with open proxies. Mind you this is only for our merchant
processing page. This is not the main page of the site or anything.

If I were trying to do the same as this person I would not use libopm at
all, but instead just check IPs against many public blacklists of proxies.

I would also try to look for indicators of abuse in the system and when it
is found, submit those IPs to various public blacklists for scanning.

I don't think that every web site on the internet should be testing for
proxies.
