- Do big sites use php’s getenv function to prevent proxy users from registering or signing in?
- Is it effective in deterring hackers from creating a bunch of accounts for abusive purposes if it is used?

There is no 100% effective way to determine whether a given user is utilizing a proxy or not. It’s generally fairly ineffective to try – plus you’ll block many legitimate users in the process.
