We have been quite inconsistent with blocks on corporate VPNs like McAfee WGCS or Zscaler. Sometimes they are blocked, sometimes they are not. I wonder what are your thoguths on this? I think a few of the options would be:
The rationale for treating them in a different way is that these are sometimes the default connection option at some workplaces, and their usage is beyond control by the user when they are connecting from that location, so I think hardblocks might be undersirable. I would lean towards blocking all of them as anon. only if we have regularly seen them abused, but I'm not sure that happened. MarioGom ( talk) 22:51, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
For the past two days, we've had to temporarily semi-protect the Teahouse and Help desk due to a proxy-hopping vandal. My savviest approach has been to block the proxy IPs and implement one-hour protection. We'd generally prefer to not protect those pages, since they're places for new and unregistered users to get support. Can those with more know-how suggest a better approach?
