How do I block VPN disguised IPs?

by LilyW620 Aug 4, 2015 10:39AM PDT

On my web site?
First of all, should I definitely have to have SSL and dedicated IP ?

What can I do at backend to achieve this?

TIA!

What is what???

by LilyW620 Aug 4, 2015 9:54PM PDT

What are you even talking about???
And you're wrong on the point that VPN connection cannot be blocked,
I HAVE encountered web sites that disallow encrypted connections, which include cases such as VPN connections.

What you wrote tells me you don't have a grasp on this yet.

Give yourself time. If I VPN to my work then I can connect from work to other sites. So my original PC and Internet IP is masked. Just like it is in my first example.

Since you are not telling me what you are worried about all I can do is blow holes in what you state until you reveal what's going on and then we can tackle that issue.

My question is really simple

Is it possible to block encrypted connections (including and ESPECIALLY VPN-masked connections)? Just like what I said in my very first post.
If I had explain furtherer then I'm pretty sure that it's not me who doesn't have "grasp" on how VPN connections work

Since I VPN'd to my work, my IP would look like my work's IP. Just like how routers work, you never see the true PC's IP. You only see their internet IP.

This is all by design. That is, it's working exactly as it should. The internet was designed to forward, translate and survive a lot of errors so what I think you want can't be done without a redo of the internet itself.

So here's the rundown.
1. Using a router hid the PC's IP address.
2. Using a VPN to work then out to the side hid my home internet IP address.

Everything is working great! Nothing's broken. All you can do is to think about why you need to do this. Maybe you want to block some VPN service site? I can't guess that. But if I did, just block Russia and China IP ranges.

I meant what "GOOD" is WHAT?????

I never said anything about what's good/bad with anything in case you wonder.

But I *have* seen it though

by LilyW620 Aug 11, 2015 3:56AM PDT

Just saying, the web site told me that my connection was "encrypted", hence the blockage.

So I guess it is possible, just not very common yet.

Answer

I don't think you can.

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Aug 4, 2015 11:09AM PDT

I'm not going to dive into why but even with SSL and dedicated IP that would not be a factor.

But why would you write it's disguised? The source IP is the VPN one and that's by design. I would be guessing you want a host IP but here my host IP on my LAN is 192.168.10.11 What good is that since that's a non-routable IP? I'm using a router so same effect as me using a VPN. My IP is disguised!

My bet is there's more to your story. Keep writing.
