178.76.152.89


Reason: Requested unblock via UTRS #11262.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:21, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * No longer functions as a proxy. It was in a lot of proxy lists, but it seems to have been closed at some point in March/April. Safe to unblock.  Sailsbystars (talk) 21:30, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Cheers for that. Unblocked.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:49, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

182.52.118.23


Reason: blocked by Procseebot on 30 June; unblock requested at User talk:1above. JohnCD (talk) 16:10, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hesitant about this. On the one hand, it looks like it's a dynamic range, and that the proxy was only there for a few days (until ~July 1).  The proxy is not open now.  On the other hand there's currently a horribly unsecured router at that IP.  If I had to decide, I'd say unblock on the benefit of the doubt.  Sailsbystars (talk) 21:25, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Wow, you weren't kidding. I would consider that an open proxy only because of the security problems that could turn it on and off in a matter of seconds.  I will leave a note on the users page that they need to secure their router if they want to get unblocked.  Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124;  WER  23:09, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The block also will expire in one month. But I think your solution is a fair one as well.... you might add mentioning the expiry time of the block.  I got pretty wide eyed when I realized just how insecure that router was.... Anyway, closing as there's nothing more to do here until another unblock request comes through. Sailsbystars (talk) 01:49, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * That isn't so uncommon, sadly, and if you understand default vs. brands, well....WP:BEANS. Regardless, in the past, I think we've always required someone to fix their gear if it can be easily abuse. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124;  WER  10:44, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

93.115.95.6


Reason: Suspicious edits. Edit warring, inserting identical content as a recentnly blocked IP editor. Likely an open proxy (see also .- MrX 15:19, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Not an open proxy but a web host, I've already blocked for evading blocks. Closing. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124; WER  22:21, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Anti-semitic troll


Previously blocked open proxies spewing anti-semitic things. Fast IP hopping and past history of open proxies indicate that these are still open proxies, but I will leave it up to the experts to determine. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:32, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Reblocked four, can't check 200.219.239.11 and 190.77.253.38 at the moment. Materialscientist (talk) 06:16, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 200.219.239.11 is now globally blocked. Can't verify 190.77.253.38 but it looks like it was active as of a week ago when this report was submitted.  Sailsbystars (talk) 01:56, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

173.58.171.174

 * Says it's not a proxy in their unblock request. Daniel Case (talk) 19:57, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The proxy is apparently gone, I've unblocked. Materialscientist (talk) 21:28, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Just double checking out of boredom, found nothing, so closing. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124; WER  23:05, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

154.20.35.245


Reason: Very old proxy block that is likely no longer needed. Double checking prior to unblocking.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:58, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see any ports open. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124; WER  23:03, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks remarkably clean to me. There was a tor node at one point but it seems to be long gone. Sailsbystars (talk) 01:45, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I've unblocked the IP. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:37, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

208.87.233.180


See User talk:Bobamnertiopsis. IP was blocked by Procseebot on 22 July. If this is a proxy, any objection to my giving this editor IPBE? Here since 2007, clean block log. JohnCD (talk) 14:09, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Reason: Requested unblock.
 * - has been since last month. --Glaisher (talk) 16:27, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. User says he does not expect to continue using this IP, so IPBE not required. JohnCD (talk) 08:56, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

115.112.64.30


Reason: ACC check. My testing shows a web filtering firewall which may spark off proxy issues. but other then that, no ports open. -  Rich T&#124;C&#124;E-Mail 11:56, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * It certainly was an open proxy during mid-June, but not at present from what I can see. --Glaisher (talk) 16:47, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

216.45.53.189


Reason: Requested unblock. Comment on block log entry: QuadraNet Datacenters Hosting. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:36, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Belongs to a webhosting service. If there is abuse, ranges belonging to webhosts are usually left blocked. --Glaisher (talk) 16:38, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

103.16.70.11


Reason: Requested unblock. See User talk:Bellus Delphina. JohnCD (talk) 10:03, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Note: user says their ISP has closed the proxy, and requests unblock. JohnCD (talk) 11:29, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Negative, there is still an active proxy on 8080, same port as detected by the ProcseeBot. Materialscientist (talk) 11:38, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Confirmed; there is still a wide open HTTP proxy on 8080. Kuru   (talk)  12:02, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

217.115.65.15


User is currently edit-warring. Sockmaster was a registered user but has resorted to these proxies to avoid scrutiny. SPI has been opened accordingly at Sockpuppet investigations/Fcbelmontejr. Elizium23 (talk) 00:42, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Reason: Suspicious edits
 * On a hosting range and at least one of them had "proxy" in the host name in the past few months. Already blocked for a year, so nothing more to do here.  Sailsbystars (talk) 13:58, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

80.12.96.21


Reason: See WP:VPT for the initial discovery.

How to edit with this proxy:
 * 1) Open http://lookup-api.apple.com.edgesuite.net/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandbox?action=edit
 * 2) The proxy only accepts enwiki URLs like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*, so you can't save the edit normally. Replace the action parameter of the form element with  http://lookup-api.apple.com.edgesuite.net/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandbox?action=submit 
 * 3) Make your changes and save

Here's an example edit I've made via the proxy:. Zhaofeng Li [ talk... contribs... ] 02:29, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Any admins watching this page? Probably needs at least a year block... Sailsbystars (talk) 14:20, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Blocked for a year. Materialscientist (talk) 21:38, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

209.164.3.228


Reason: Belongs to web hosting company HostMySite.com. Some other abusive edits in the past years in their 209.164.0.0/18 range. Stickee (talk)  06:18, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Anonblocked 209.164.0.0/18 for 2 years. Materialscientist (talk) 04:40, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

93.115.92.240


Reason: Belongs to CactusVPN (tried myself). Range belongs to Voxility. Stickee (talk) 03:07, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Blocked, thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 04:45, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

95.104.6.145

 * User says they no longer have a proxy at that address. Daniel Case (talk) 04:43, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I've declined the unblock. Port 3128 is an open proxy, not sure about the rest of it, but I've seen enough. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:34, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
