Open proxies noticeboard

Shortcuts

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.

Reporting

Please report IP addresses you suspect are open proxies below. A project member will scan or attempt to connect to the proxy, and if confirmed will block the address.

Before reporting any suspected open proxies here, please remember that not all vandals are open proxies and vandals should not get an automatic check here; remember that it takes the volunteers here about 5-10 minutes to give a request a thorough check.

File a new report here
I.	For block requests: Verify that the following criterion has been met: The IP has made abusive contributions within the past week For unblock requests: Verify that the following criteria has been met: No current criteria
II.	For block requests Replace "IP" below with the IP address you are reporting. For unblock requests Replace "IP" below with the IP address you are reporting.
III.	Fill out the resulting page and fill-in the requested information.
IV.	Save the page.

Verified Users/Sysops Templates
IP is an open proxy {{Proxycheck\|confirmed}} for confirmed open proxies and Tor exit nodes. Likely IP is an open proxy {{Proxycheck\|likely}} for likely open proxies and Tor exit nodes. Possible IP is an open proxy {{Proxycheck\|possible}} for possible open proxies and Tor exit nodes. Unlikely IP is an open proxy {{Proxycheck\|unlikely}} for unlikely open proxies and Tor exit nodes. Not currently an open proxy {{Proxycheck\|unrelated}} for IP's confirmed not to be an open proxy or Tor exit node. Inconclusive {{Proxycheck\|inconclusive}} for IP's that are inconclusive. Declined to run a check {{Proxycheck\|decline}} to decline a check. Open proxy blocked {{Proxycheck\|blocked}} for open proxies and Tor nodes that have been blocked. Please add this if you block the IP.

168.195.24.193

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

168.195.24.193 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Same user reported above by Tule-hog based on their requests at WP:AFC/R. S0091 (talk) 21:17, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

92.40.205.20

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

92.40.205.20 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Reason: Vandalism and personal attacks. IP Information says behaviors are "FILE_SHARING" and "TOR_PROXY_USER", and lists six proxies. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:28, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

103.70.36.13

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

103.70.36.13 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Reason: Same behavior and organization as 103.175.136.77, which was blocked as a proxy. jlwoodwa (talk) 00:27, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

129.145.50.104

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

129.145.50.104 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Reason: Datacenter IP. Gheus (talk) 14:47, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

IP

– A user has requested a proxy check, but a proxy checker needs more information before making an decision whether or not to investigate.

[[User:|]] · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google

Reason: Requested unblock. 110.54.135.127 (talk) 14:13, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is the IP address for this request? — Naomi Amethyst 22:57, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

159.26.106.180

– This request has been addressed by a user who is not a verified proxy checker. It is awaiting review and closure by a verified proxy checker.

159.26.106.180 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Reason: Proton VPN. I'm usually blocked when I forget to disconnect from Proton before clicking 'edit' (which I do surprisingly and depressingly often) so was surprised to see this one was unblocked. 159.26.106.180 (talk) 10:59, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did it again. A check on

159.26.106.161 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

as well would be a good idea. 159.26.106.161 (talk) 16:49, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Both of these IPs are already globally blocked for five years. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 15:33, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but self-evidently they weren't when I posted them. As a newer editor getting involved in the deeper workings of Wikipedia, please try to be a bit less abrupt with your fellow editors. Thanks. 81.2.123.64 (talk) 19:06, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will do that. Thanks for reminding me. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 19:51, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes the admins/stewards at Metawiki are so fast that they block proxies globally before they are blocked locally; when a proxy checker reviews this request, they will most likely respond with a template saying that they don't need to run a check because the IP is already globally blocked. I probably could have explained this better above but oh well. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 20:11, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

158.140.164.16

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

158.140.164.16 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Reason: Disruptive editing. IP Information lists two proxies (ABC and Oxylabs). IPQS is 100. Two previous proxy blocks. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:11, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

122.99.21.46 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Reason: VPNGate proxies, obtained from their website. An LTA likes using these to create sleeper accounts. Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 05:30, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

80.187.68.163

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

80.187.68.163 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Reported as a sockpuppet [1], but this sockmaster is usually instantly recognizable by their location (the Pyrenees), and this time they are editing from Germany. asilvering (talk) 18:57, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

50.35.159.58

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

50.35.159.58 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Reason: Recently used for disruption; see filter log. Spur says it's a callback proxy. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 21:03, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

103.60.175.214

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

103.60.175.214 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Reason: Block evasion via proxy. Reported at WP:AIV. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 18:45, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

148.244.210.141

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

148.244.210.141 · talk · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google · ipcheck · HTTP · geo · rangeblocks · spur · shodan

Reason: Polish LTA reported at WP:AIV. Currently blocked for block evasion; previously blocked as a p2p proxy. Spur says it's part of the Unknown anonymization network. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 18:50, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Automated lists and tools

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.
