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.

  • If you've been blocked as an open proxy, please see: Help:blocked.
  • To report a proxy check or an incorrect block, see the #Reporting section.

Symbol wait old.png A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.

Reason: This IP segment is considered to be a proxy in zhwiki and is banned, so I should be treated the same in local.--Here's 28 and did I make a mess? 02:07, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[]

    •  Confirmed, blocked; looks like everything else is, too. Closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 11:06, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[]

Vangate VPNs

Symbol comment vote.svg – This proxy check request is closed and will soon be archived by a bot.

Reason: Vpngate VPNs per Spur. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:26, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[]

  • They're all exceedingly  Likely, so I've hardblocked all the individual IPs for 6 months. Not more I can do here, unfortunately. Closing, thanks for reporting. --Blablubbs (talk) 10:56, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[]

PLDT call-back proxies associated with sockfarm

Symbol comment vote.svg – This proxy check request is closed and will soon be archived by a bot.

Reason: Suspicious edits, coincident with beauty pageant sockfarm [1][2][3], & IPQualityScore reports 100% fraud score & spur findings on each are "call-back proxy network". ☆ Bri (talk) 04:06, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[]

  • Fairly  Unlikely in the sense that while there are services running, they aren't the type that is likely to be used for socking, and the user in question is probably just a residential customer on an infected range. Closing without action. --Blablubbs (talk) 11:01, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[]

Automated lists and tools

  • User:AntiCompositeBot/ASNBlock maintained by User:AntiCompositeBot is a list of hosting provider ranges that need assessment for blocks that is updated daily. Admins are encouraged to review the list and assess for blocks as needed. All administrators are individually responsible for any blocks they make based on that list.
  • ISP Rangefinder is a tool that allows administrators to easily identify and hard block all ranges for an entire ISP. It should be used with extreme caution, but is useful for blocking known open proxy providers. All administrators are individually responsible for any blocks they make based on the results from this tool.
  • IPCheck is a tool that can help provide clues about potential open proxies.
