How would a website detect that I'm using a SSH tunnel?

_x000D_ _x000D_ I have a shared hosting account with SSH access, so I often use it as a SSH tunnel to browse websites securely and anonymously. But some times, a website would detect that I'm using a SSH tunnel and not allow me to use their services. For example, today I visited a site, that just flat out told me "Use of Proxie/VPN/VPS/Tor is not allowed.", now this is a very small site, I don't think it has a database of all proxies in the world. So I guess this must be possible in website programming to achieve detection of proxies/ssh tunnel/vpn. So my question is, how is this detection done? and is there anything I could do to avoid detection? Thanks.
