How do my counters count a visit through a proxy. I used one called FlyWall.
This is how FlyWall describes itself:
"What is FlyWall?
FlyWall is a website which allows you to visit your favourite sites at work or school, where your school or work might not allow you to visit them. There are many other uses for this site aswell, but to get started, enter your URL in the box above where it says http:// and then click Browse."
Using FlyWall I visited this blog, and then checked to see if I could be identified as the visitor, and what technology the counters gave (results if myself and not the proxy counted, ISP: Fused Networks / Telecomplete, IP Address: 86.53.56.223, Country: United Kingdom, Browser: Opera 9.8, OS: SunOS):
ShinyStat:
ISP: Not available
Country: United States of America
Browser: Opera 9.x
OS: Sun OS
BraveNet:
BraveNet does not register proxies.
Onestat:
OneStat does not register proxies.
BelStat:
ISP: telecomplete
IP Address: 86.53.56.223
Country: UK
OS / Browser: Data not linked to individual visitors
SiteMeter:
ISP: Unknown
Country: Unknown
OS: SunOS UNIX
Browser: Opera 9.80
StatCounter:
ISP: Fused Networks Limited
IP Address: 86.53.56.223
Country: United Kingdom
Browser: Default Browser 0
OS: SunOS
GoStata:
Country: United States
OS: Unknown
Browser: Netscape
24Log:
Country: United States
Browser: Mozilla compatible
OS: other
Extreme Tracking:
ISP: Fused Networks Limited
Country: United Kingdom
IP Address: 86.53.56.223
Browser: Opera 9
OS: SunOS
Motigo Stats:
ISP: Fused Networks
Country: United Kingdom
Browser: Opera 9.x
OS: Sun OS
So some counters seem to be able to see past the proxy, and others report the proxies details, some report a bit of both, whilst BraveNet, and OneStat do not let you know a proxy has visited at all.
