Answer 1

You can't. The info you have is from apache/iis/whatever, and it only knows who is talking to your server, which in this case, is the proxy. Unless the proxy wants to send along that info in a header, then you won't get it.

X-Forwarded-For is the best you can do, but its not likely an anonymous proxy will send that.
