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)

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)

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. Southasianhistorian8 ( talk) 21:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

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)

Reason: Amazon AWS webhosting services. Recently used for vandalism/disruption. 73.67.145.30 ( talk) 15:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

The range 136.226.0.0/16 was blocked recently. Unfortunately my user account uses a static IP in this range. I use different devices for my editing, but only edit under my account. I also accept if the block will remain in place as it does use ZScaler (an open proxy), but am wondering if an exception could be granted. My account has never been blocked nor have I been under scrutiny for being blocked. Reason: Requested unblock. Conyo14 ( talk) 16:42, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Reason: ipcheck.toolforge.org reports this as a proxy and geolocation data shows it might be a datacenter ☆ Bri ( talk) 22:49, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.
Reason: Questionable beauty pageant editing for some time from IPs in 110.93.85.0/24, and recent use by those noted above; spur reports both belong to a call-back proxy network. ☆ Bri ( talk) 19:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
