filtering proxies
i think alot about that is there a way to filter proxies i don't want anyone to access my server using proxies
may be http_x_forwarder could used for it but i want to prevent DDoS aatacks with multiple proxies so looking http_x_forwarder made too much load

I don't think that this will help you to prevent DDoS attacks.
Most of them are from normal home PCs that do not pass through any proxy servers.
There is a way of course, for example you may build up a list with proxy servers and script who checks and compare the visitors IP with the proxy IP, if match => ban
I believe that the load caused by this will not be low, and the loading speed (of the sites) will be slow.
Another solution would be to install some kind of proxy detector,which will ban every visitor behind a proxy, but if the customer passes through a CGI proxy, I don`t think that this will help.

No, I don't have
We have never needed one.
There are some for web - sites (like Java based proxy detectors), but I'm not aware if there is any product for Linux based server that can run as service.
