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. Also, please remember that it takes the volunteers here about 5-10 minutes to give a request a thorough check. The bot which clerks this page can sometimes detect if an IP is an open proxy, but can never confirm that an IP is not an open proxy.

The multiwiki MetaProject on open proxies seeks to enforce the prohibition against editing from open or anonymising proxies by identifying, verifying, and blocking 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 rescanned.

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. IPs blocked on Wikipedia but not on other wikis should be moved to the MetaProject. Please use this format:

{{proxyip2|127.0.0.1}} || Example ~~~~
Verified Users/Sysops
  • Use {{oproxy}} for confirmed open proxies and TOR exit nodes.
  • Use {{notaproxy}} for IP's confirmed not to be an open proxy or TOR exit node.
  • Use {{inconclusive}} for IP's that are inconclusive.
  • Use {{opblocked}} for open proxies and TOR nodes that have been blocked. Please add this if you block the IP.

  • Whois says this range is owned by http://www.layeredtech.com, an ISP headquartered in Saudi Arabia. I found an abuse report on the web dated to May, 2007, complaining about spammers and scrapers being hosted by Layeredtech. Google for 'spam layeredtech' gets 20,000 hits, so maybe there is something to this. (If this comment is in the wrong place, I hope that a clerk will move it. Thanks.)

Not open?

Proxies that do not seem to be open or anonymity network exit nodes should be listed here, rechecked at various times, and removed if still not conclusive.

Block

Proxies that are proven to be open or exit nodes for an anonymity network should be blocked on the English Wikipedia, then should be moved to the "Blocked" section to be reported to the MetaProject in the next batch. Please strip notes not directly useful to a globally blocking administrator, or to a future rechecking administrator (signatures and templates are not necessary).
