    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.


    Reporting

    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.

    165.85.64.0/22

    – 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]

    • I've checked the three /24s separately here (165.85.64.0/24 · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google - 165.85.65.0/24 · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google - 165.85.66.0/24 · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google). While the ISP is Amazon, all three ranges are currently allocated to Palo Alto Networks. The first range, 165.85.64.0/24, appears to be used for part of their GlobalProtect VPN service per Spur's data. This seems similar to the McAfee WGCS and Zscaler ranges currently reported on this page, and any hardblock on these ranges would have some collateral on legitimate users. A softblock/{{Colocationwebhost-soft}} might be appropriate here. The other two ranges in the /22 seem to be in the same data centre, and don't seem to be part of the same service, but the filter log linked above is from an IP on the third /24 so it clearly has some use somewhere. Not sure what to recommend here, and I've not been able to easily search to see if any other IPs in the range have triggered any filters, though none have any recorded contributions.

    209.35.227.0/24

    – 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]

    103.242.22.207

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

    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]

    • Spur notes a 'possible proxy' and that the IP address belongs to a particular proxy network. Activity from this IP address is likely a mix of anonymous and normal activity. This means not all traffic from this IP address belongs to this proxy network. A single edit, while odd, is not enough to make a determination. Closing. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:05, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

    Reason: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TotalTruthTeller24 block evasion; https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-ip-lookup-proxy-vpn-test/lookup/104.128.72.34 and https://ipcheck.toolforge.org/index.php?ip=104.128.72.34 confirm it is a proxy. C F A 💬 02:40, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This is one of a large group of IPs who go on vandalism sprees with no subtlety at all. The edits are copy/paste junk, and the edit summaries are copy/paste junk. No attempt to hide. As soon as one is blocked, another takes over. On every talk page, they've linked an article, like Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk, although there are several others. If you look at the list of user talk pages that link to that article, there are a LOT, and just about every one of them has participated in a similar spree at some point. I noticed just now that the IP I'm reporting quietly came back after I blocked them and removed the article link. Not sure if they're using the article wikilinks to communicate, or to bookmark the IPs they're using? I'm suspicious of the entire IP group, but this one was one of the most recent I've encountered.

    IP is an open proxy. Certainly is, Joyous!. I was able to log onto it and make a a few marks on the user talk page a couple of minutes ago. I’ve reblocked, a hard block, for two years. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:10, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
    • Bullseye provides information about IPS, including clues about potential open proxies.
    • whois-referral is a generic WHOIS tool.
    • Range block finder finds present and past range blocks.
