Reason: WHOIS reports "Network sharing device or proxy server"; Spur says "belongs to a call-back proxy network". Suspicious edits like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:HTTP_cookie&diff=prev&oldid=1145743447 ☆ Bri (talk) 16:28, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Bri: IP is an open proxy, but not in active use: last edits were ~6mo ago, so I think no action is needed. If a passing admin wants to block I won't object though. — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:10, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Requested unblock. This IP address is the public facing IP address of the Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE) office. The IP address belongs to an IP range of 1&1 Versatel, our internet provider, who statically assigned this address to our fiber optics uplink. We often have events where we introduce future volunteers into editing Wikipedia or their sister projects. Among our colleagues are also many volunteers who get affected by this block. Masin Al-Dujaili (WMDE) (talk) 10:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

- Sure, sounds fine. I don't remember the exact details of this block any more, but I usually block 1&1 on sight. From Ionos, it looks like they're branching out of just web hosting now, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:27, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Note sure how reliable this is, but it's identified as a VPN server on the goeloacate link on the contributions page. Assuming that's accurate, I suspect the VPN is being used by at least some one of the editors on this range to evade IP range blocks. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:31, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Seems to be a Menlo Security VPN. Checked using Spur (public version) and IPQualityScore and returned as a VPN. Edit history also indicates that it might be a shared IP. However, other services (shown on IPCheck) indicates that it may not be a proxy. ~~2NumForIce (speak|edits) 15:04, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

The range 136.226.0.0/16 was blocked recently. Unfortunately my user account uses a static IP in this range. I use different devices for my editing, but only edit under my account. I also accept if the block will remain in place as it does use ZScaler (an open proxy), but am wondering if an exception could be granted. My account has never been blocked nor have I been under scrutiny for being blocked. Reason: Requested unblock. Conyo14 (talk) 16:42, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Reason: ipcheck.toolforge.org reports this as a proxy and geolocation data shows it might be a datacenter ☆ Bri (talk) 22:49, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- Inconclusive This range appears to be part of Zayo's Direct Internet Access offering which is business/enterprise connectivity, so while there may be a possibility of an open proxy, this seems to be more along the lines of somebody editing at work. Q T C 21:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
157.167.128.0/24
{{proxycheckstatus}}
Reason: Cloud server/VPN. This is an odd one, because the IP range geolocates to Turkey, and is listed as a VPN network; but most of the edits are to Turkish-related articles. Is this some sort of corporate cloud network? 2601:1C0:4401:F60:8C11:4CC3:7E71:B4CE (talk) 20:54, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Inconclusive. It’s showing up as a Forcepoint gateway proxy. Forcepoint is a company that provides cybersecurity services for businesses and governments so, yes, coupled with it geolocating to Turkey and editing Turkish topics, which is not typical proxy behaviour, this probably is a corporate gateway. It's not very busy and looks low risk; I’ll mark it as inconclusive. Closing. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:05, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason:Listed ISP is FedEx which is not a legitimate provider, in addition these various FedEx proxy ranges are used by a LTA and extensive sock puppeteer HaughtonBrit to block evade and push tendentious edits in various South Asian topics. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 21:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Unlikely IP is an open proxy. It's not uncommon for an IP address or range of IP addresses to be owned by non-ISP organisations and I can't corroborate that this is a proxy or VPN. That’s not to say that disruptive editing can’t be blocked where it occurs but this is one edit almost four months ago handled by a revert so there is nothing more to be done now.

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)
- 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. So I look at the contributions. It’s a long-standing stable connection located in the US with an interest in US subjects. I see no signs of abuse of editing privileges. I think there is unlikely to be proxy use at this time. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:08, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

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. Joyous! Noise! 23:12, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Appears to be a proxy according to proxycheck.io, GetIPIntel, and IPQualityScore (via ipcheck.toolforge.org). Behaviour is not yet abusive, but reminds me of an LTA who hounds me for a couple of years now: first he is interested in Ukraine, next in one of the unrelated random articles that I've edited recently. At least it's definitely not a new user. — Mike Novikoff 12:59, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The specific IP mentioned showed up on my radar with vandalism. A little investigation showed it is in a range owned by range redstation.com Internet as a Service, i.e. server farm. Probably 37.157.242.0/23 if WHOIS is giving me good data. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:59, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

165.85.64.0/22
{{proxycheckstatus}}
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)
- 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.

{{proxycheckstatus}}
Reason: VPN. Perimeter 81. 73.67.145.30 (talk) 18:43, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- 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)

Reason: single-purpose accounts apparently closely linked to Jüri Lina. In Spanish Wikipedia an IP (actually blocked) seems to be located in Sweden, where the author lives. Here, in Wikipedia in English, it seems to be using open proxies. Edits are disruptive, biased and spamming (in eswiki the IP tries to promote the author's books). It is edit-warring, in eswiki as well as in enwiki. A block will prevent further damage to revision history. I add a second IP apparently connected with this one, single-purpose account, too. Thanks! PedroAcero76 (talk) 17:41, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Could you give me eswiki page(s) where an IP tried to promote the author's books (would be fun if true)? If possible I also want to know what you think was biased in my edits (I do not plan to do these any more becuase it seems that IP addresses have no rights; it is your train of thought that is in my interest). 2404:F780:5:DEB:0:0:0:D001 (talk) 01:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Open proxy blocked. The first IP address is already blocked 2404:f780:5:deb::/64 as a colocation/webhost. The ISP for both is Host Universal Pty Ltd, a web hosting company. There is a history of local and global blocks at 2404:f780:4::/47. I have done the same. No comment with regards to es.wiki. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:53, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Recent edits has been violating MOS:ROLEBIO and showing WP:IDHT by reverting after informed on ROLEBIO. In which, being curious on why the ever-changing IP from various ranges in which making warning to level 4 impossible in turn making AIV reporting impossible, I did a fuzzy check on the IPs location, it's changing between Kano and Lagos in Nigeria hence I suspect that there's likely VPN or proxy involved. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:47, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Unlikely IP is an open proxy. This looks like a mobile network with dynamically assigned IP addresses. The ISP is Airtel, a mobile telecommunications company operating in Nigeria. Around 90% of edits are mobile edits. Around 85% of IPs have just 1 or 2 edits. Kano and Lagos are probably where servers assigning IP addresses are located. I spot checked a number of IP addresses and saw no proxy fingerprints other than a few callback proxies that are now stale. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:21, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
