Wikipedia:WikiProject Open proxies
The WikiProject 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
[edit]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. |

[edit]A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.
Reason: Requested unblock or softening. Non-proxy collateral on this range. - RichT|C|E-Mail 01:23, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Rich Smith. Have you discussed this with the blocking admin ST47? Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:07, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Malcolmxl5: I have not, my last attempt at asking ST47 about a block, albeit by their bot, was left unanswered - RichT|C|E-Mail 15:43, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Rich Smith. I understand. ST47 hasn’t edited for a while so let’s have a look at this. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason: I've blocked this IP for vandalism, and I noticed that it's tagged by a third parts as a VPN server. It would be useful for a CU to check if this is a proxy, so as to both hardblock and extend the length. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 05:09, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

School page vandal. https://ipcheck.toolforge.org/index.php?ip=140.233.143.222 reports it as a VPN proxy. Meters (talk) 02:25, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- This IP address is owned by Middlebury College according to Robtex. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:38, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'd imagine it's pretty similar to the situation at my school, where they use a provider that is marked as a proxy (which happens to be blocked, thanks Netskope!). Kline • talk • contribs 21:55, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- The user subsequently moved on to two other web hosts, now range blocked as 23.88.224.0/19 Meters (talk) 22:30, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Reported as a proxy/vpn via IPCheck and datacenter via whatismyipaddress. May be worth checking the whole range as the ISP (Equinix) provides datacenters. Kline • talk • contribs 19:36, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Automated lists and tools
[edit]- 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.
