WikiProject on open proxies
Shortcuts

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.

Open proxies may be blocked from editing

Requests

[edit]

165.85.64.0/22

[edit]

– 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]

209.35.227.0/24

[edit]

– 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]

72.14.126.22

[edit]

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

Reason: It appears https://spur.us/context/72.14.126.22 is a known proxy and it seems suspiciously used. Pastillawheel (talk) 16:14, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

102.141.49.156 and 94.200.5.30

[edit]

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

Reason: suspicious back-to-back edits with another IP on the same article but the IPs geolocate to different continents, and Spur indicates at least one is in a call-back network. ☆ Bri (talk) 00:55, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

103.242.22.207

[edit]

A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.

Reason: Added an EFFPR report without triggering an filter, which is something an LTA has been doing with IPs from the IPA region. SPUR also says Possible Proxy. Nobody (talk) 17:42, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
