190.77.0.0/16
– This proxy check request is closed and will soon be archived by a bot.
Reason: Requested unblock. A global User asked me for help via private email. While logged in to their home Wikipedia, that user gets the following notice when attempting to go to the English Wikipedia:
Account creation from IP addresses in the range 190.77.0.0/16, which includes your IP address (190.77.172.147), has been blocked by NawlinWiki. The reason given by NawlinWiki is The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
That's a big range with lots of collateral damage. WhoIs indicates this range is a dynamic pool of an ISP. Thanks in advance for your help. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 05:08, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Not currently an open proxy. I don't see anything that would indicate that this particular IP is an open proxy, or anything other than a dynamic ISP. I do see an extremely aggressive and vile troll operating from that range over a long period (with many deleted edits), which is the likely reason for the block. The block only impacts anonymous editors, it may be best to point them to WP:ACC, or to contact the blocking administrator for perspectives. Kuru (talk) 12:12, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Seems to be related to a sockfarm I've been dealing with. Left me messages on my talk page of the same style as the SM. CrowCaw 22:59, 10 July 2015 (UTC) Reason: Suspicious edits

- Reason: Sockpuppetry on Subway (restaurant) [2] and sockpuppetry/block evasion on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/XenoRasta. Keri (talk) 10:42, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
- All of these are privateinternetaccess.com exit nodes. I've put a small range block up for the 104.156 addresses as a quick spot check shows that many of the IPs there are hosted servers for the same service. I blocked the 104.200.154.59 address directly - will need more data there to form a viable range block. Kuru (talk) 14:02, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Reason: Gabucho181 sock uses open proxies and this. Currently has a short sock block. Also per above looks to be in a range of IPs that could be ranged blocked. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:03, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
- I poked around on the 208.31.49.0/24 range, and every single IP editing wikipedia with more than 2 edits tested positive as a CyberGhost node (443 - they make no effort to mask it). I've blocked that range; let me know if he edits again. It might be faster to just pay CyberGhost and get a list of nodes from them. :) Kuru (talk) 00:31, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi there. I suspect this might be a proxy because it was recently used by a sock operator who historically has edited from Aberdeen, Scotland. This IP geolocates to Spain (ISP: Telefonica de Espana). Thanks! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:59, 6 August 2015 (UTC) Reason: Suspicious edits

Reason: Suspicious edits IP editor only has interest in Pakistan-related articles, but IP geolocates to San Francisco, California, US. Not impossible, of course, but weird. They've flagged another user who edits primarily in Pakistan-related subjects as a sockpuppet. The user has also communicated with another editor in a foreign language. Again, not impossible for someone from San Francisco, but worth looking into. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:41, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
- Geosigns are irrelevant, but whois says that 45.55.0.0/16 belongs to "DigitalOcean - Simple Cloud Hosting" (digitalocean.com). CU scans show some activity, but also abuse. I went ahead and hardblocked /16 as a webhost. Materialscientist (talk) 00:52, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Reason: Suspicious edits associated with COI editor; host lookup at whatismyip.com says IP is a known proxy.
- The is the exit node for a corporate proxy, not an open proxy or webhost. I can see all sorts of interesting COI edits related to some of the entities in that "family" which sort of confirms this. Just block like a regular shared IP if there's too many bad edits. Kuru (talk) 02:15, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

I just reverted some vandalism which does not need any follow up, but when I looked at the IP's talk (User talk:2C0F:F930:0:3:0:0:0:221) is saw a claim "This is a Tor exit node.2C0F:F930:0:3:0:0:0:221 (talk) 13:01, 16 August 2015". I'm hoping someone will take any action necessary, but it's a not a problem at the moment. Johnuniq (talk) 02:33, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- Can't do much checking now. Their global contributions indeed suggest international sharing. This tool doesn't identify the IP as Tor; the tool used to work well with ipv4, but I'm not sure about ipv6. Materialscientist (talk) 03:06, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing it; no open ports there. It seems most tor exit nodes are easy to spot, like 5.9.123.81:9001. Kuru (talk) 12:10, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Reason: Suspicious edits
- This IP was asking some questions about socking at WP:AN#Sock abuse under protection, as well as talking back to User:Drmies about an SPI case. A web search for 220.255.*.* shows some generally-advertised proxy services based in Singapore. May not be this exact range, though. This IP gets some hits from a spam finder at Cleantalk. There are seven hits in the SPI directory for cases that contain the string '220.255'. EdJohnston (talk) 02:39, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Block reason given is Blocked_proxy for the entire range. A lot of collateral damage when such a wide range is blocked as an open proxy. If all of the ISP's servers are actually misconfigured and usable as open proxies, can a user or admin fluent in Spanish contact them to recommend better configuration and XFF? WhoIs shows CANTV Servicios, Venezuela located at Venezuela, Bolivarian Republic Of Caracas Cantv Servicios Venezuela. Thanks, DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 17:51, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
Reason: Requested unblock.
- Comment: The two IPs with the most edits on this range don't seem to have any proxies on them. There's really only a handful of edits on the entire range and yet this block affects up to 65,536 IPs. This seems like some pretty major overkill to me. @NawlinWiki: do you have any comments as the blocking admin? Mww113 (talk) 05:49, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

This IP is owned by Chevron Corporation, located in their San Ramon, California, office. It is reported as a confirmed open proxy. People operating the proxy have made personal attacks[8] and have violated the 1RR limitation set at the Abortion and mental health article. (All abortion topics have a 1RR limitation.) Since May 2015, other edits have been made by this proxy to disputed and controversial topics such as Conversion therapy (to convert gays) and Beginning of human personhood (a debate point in the abortion topic.)
