  43 The best way to do this is to have a bot sit on the server and check
  44 incoming clients.  This means that there's no extra delay for the user
  45 connecting.

  47 If you have a small network, then you could have a separate &quot;socks&quot;
  48 checking server.

  50 Take a look at GeoStats &lt;<A HREF="http://geostats.lite.net/">http://geostats.lite.net/</A>&gt; - it also has an
  51 option to check for open proxy/wingate machines as new clients are
  52 introduced to the network.
