93.174.93.145


Reason: User:GameOn has told me on my talk page that this IP is an open proxy. Since I'm not familiar with the procedure for checking these, I thought it would be more efficient if someone else could check it. I've already blocked it to the end of May for vandalism. Thanks! —S MALL JIM   11:30, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, and now (/24) rangeblocked long time. I'll leave this report here so we can look at the rest of 93.174.88.0/21. -- zzuuzz (talk) 11:53, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * zzuuzz, if you look at their http site, you should find a ton more with the following IPs:
 * The ranges are compiled from individual IPs. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  11:56, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * All are adequately rangeblocked. 93.174.88.0/21 looks well dodgy but still needs a closer check before blocking. -- zzuuzz (talk) 12:06, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ahh..good. Didn't see the overlying ranges at first. :) -- DQ  (t)   (e)  12:15, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You'll see them a lot easier when you're a sysop :) -- zzuuzz (talk) 12:17, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys - I'm glad we have experts :) —S MALL  JIM   13:23, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * opblocked, 93.174.88.0/21 rangeblocked, and all the others. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:49, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

pt.wikt vandal


I'm not sure this is the right place to request this. A steward at meta directed me here, so let me try: at pt.wikt we have a very persistent vandal that has been using open proxies to evade a ban. Recently he has used the IPs 87.103.101.191, 178.17.164.52 and 173.0.56.12. I would like to determine if they are open proxies. How can I go about determining that? Thanks for any help.

 * 87.103.101.191 is a mobile phone IP with Vodaphone. 178.17.164.52 & 173.0.56.12 are both web accessible proxies, many sites on those IPs, see Domaintools whois for list of sites. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  03:05, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The magic URL for 173.0.56.12 is www.bypass-proxy.info. Looks like it has friends too....  The block it's on is 173.0.48.0/20.... and every IP with contribs in the range looks to be a proxy:
 * purpleunblocker.info
 * is a porn site
 * was also purpleunblocker.info at one point http://webdetail.org/www.purpleunblocker.info
 * is a blockedproxy
 * bypassproxy.net and others....
 * is the only edit on the entire block that isn't a blatantly obvious proxy or otherwise compromised system....
 * This clearly needs a long rangeblock, as the purpleunblocker apparently jumps IPs in the range. Unlinked because I got hit by the spam filter. :-P Sailsbystars (talk) 02:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * 173.0.48.0/20 now rangeblocked here. -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:00, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * opblocked all done here. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
