: How can we find real source of suspected user entries? I have a website where I keep logging the user entries. I found some anonymous entries in my table and I suspect they are using some

Not really possible. You can try a few clever tricks that may or may not work (caching a flash object and checking for it to identify if a user is using multiple IPs, or carefully tracking several user details and looking for matches). It's better to just make sure the site is secure versus trying to track users at all.

If a user is using a proxy, there may be headers in the request that you could examine or log to let you know what the original IP address of the user is. See:


X-Originating-IP
X-Forwarded-For


If you are using Apache server, headers such as this can be logged using %{header}i, in the log format configuration directive where "header" can be any HTTP request header.
