 * Hello. 🙂
 * Is there a consistent and reliable way to block users hiding behind proxies from
   accessing your WordPress site though Wordfence? I’ve seen indication of this 
   in its settings, but I’m uncertain about how to best proceed.
 * Does anyone have any advice about how to block proxy IPs via Wordfence or any
   other plugin, for that matter? Any info would be much appreciated.

 * Currently we don’t offer a way to do that. I can suggest adding an option to 
   block users who have certain IP headers that indicate a proxy but then you might
   get someone using proxies for less nefarious uses, like privacy or getting around
   work firewalls – not that I have ever done that before 🙂
