    The Open proxies noticeboard 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

    46.112.98.31

    [edit]

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

    While monitoring recent changes, I noticed that there are several IPs that frequently make the same edit patterns, as can be seen from the edit summaries and added links. I suspect that the IPs are using an open proxy. Spamhaus ZEN DNSBL says "127.0.0.11 - PBL Listed (Should not be sending email)". Alfarizi M (talk) 15:32, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Prove: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5], etc. they seem to change their IPs so fast. Alfarizi M (talk) 04:17, 17 May 2025 (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.
