| WikiProject on open proxies |
|---|
|
The WikiProject on open proxies seeks to identify, verify and block open proxies and anonymity network exit nodes. To prevent abuse or vandalism, only proxy checks by verified users will be accepted. All users are welcome to discuss on the talk page, report possible proxies, or request that a blocked IP be rechecked.
|
Please report IP addresses you suspect are open proxies below. A project member will scan or attempt to connect to the proxy, and if confirmed will block the address.
 | Before reporting any suspected open proxies here, please remember that not all vandals are open proxies and vandals should not get an automatic check here; remember that it takes the volunteers here about 5-10 minutes to give a request a thorough check. |

– A proxy checker has requested a second opinion on this case.
Reason: Amazon AWB. 165.85.64.0 - 165.85.66.255 are all registered to Amazon AWB, hence the /22 range in this report. BLP disruption caught by filter log. 73.67.145.30 (talk) 16:45, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
– A proxy checker has requested a second opinion on this case.
Reason: VPN. Perimeter 81. 73.67.145.30 (talk) 18:43, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmed While the range is announced by Perimeter 81, and a large portion of it seems to be empty per Spur and Shodan, there are IP ranges within that are active on Perimeter 81's VPN product. However that product is aimed at businesses, with pricing to match. This seems similar to the Zscaler, McAfee WGCS cases that are also open at present. A softblock on the range might be appropriate however, the one contributor who was active on 15 May 2023 was using an IP that's part of their VPN range. While I've tried to pin down the exact range for just the IPs that are part of their VPN offering, it seems somewhat spread out throughout it with gaps, so it might be more expedient to just block it in its entirety. Flagging this for a 2O though, while we figure out how to handle this particular type of VPN provider. Sideswipe9th (talk) 00:22, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.
Reason: Cloud server/VPN. This is an odd one, because the IP range geolocates to Turkey, and is listed as a VPN network; but most of the edits are to Turkish-related articles. Is this some sort of corporate cloud network? 2601:1C0:4401:F60:8C11:4CC3:7E71:B4CE (talk) 20:54, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.
Reason: Same proxy sock that got blocked earlier for both ban evasion and editing with proxy. [1] He is still socking to restore the same article.[2][3] Ratnahastin (talk) 15:22, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.
Reason:Listed ISP is FedEx which is not a legitimate provider, in addition these various FedEx proxy ranges are used by a LTA and extensive sock puppeteer HaughtonBrit to block evade and push tendentious edits in various South Asian topics.

Note sure how reliable this is, but it's identified as a VPN server on the goeloacate link on the contributions page. Assuming that's accurate, I suspect the VPN is being used by at least some one of the editors on this range to evade IP range blocks. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:31, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.
Seems to be a Menlo Security VPN. Checked using Spur (public version) and IPQualityScore and returned as a VPN. Edit history also indicates that it might be a shared IP. However, other services (shown on IPCheck) indicates that it may not be a proxy. ~~2NumForIce (speak|edits) 15:04, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User admitted to being proxy after vandalizing pages. Interestingly, their Uncyclopedia page reveals that their IP is an open proxy for pawns.app. OhHaiMark (talk) 22:24, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.
Reason: Amazon AWS webhosting services. Recently used for vandalism/disruption. 73.67.145.30 (talk) 15:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
