    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.

    Open proxies may be blocked from editing

    Reason: Requested unblock or softening. Non-proxy collateral on this range. - RichT|C|E-Mail 01:23, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Rich Smith. Have you discussed this with the blocking admin ST47? Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:07, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @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)[reply]
    @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)[reply]

    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)[reply]

    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.
