MetaProject on open proxies (en-Wikipedia chapter)

If you've been blocked as an open proxy, please see Help:blocked. The multiwiki MetaProject on open proxies seeks to enforce the prohibition against editing from open or anonymising proxies by identifying, verifying, and indefinitely 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. We're looking for a new dedicated online open proxy scanner, preferably nmap. If you can host one, please post a message on the MetaProject discussion page.

Alerts

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

This is cross-posted to meta, as I'm not sure where it'll get a faster response. Block log shows it's been unblocked and reblocked once or twice, so hoping we can get a more definitive "on record" statement.

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. Please strip notes not directly useful to a globally blocking administrator, or to a future rechecking administrator (signatures and templates are not necessary).

Unblock

These requests are confirmed to be no longer open or anonymity network exit nodes. Once unblocked and the open proxy tag removed from their user pages, they should be moved to "Unblocked" below or posted directly to the MetaProject. Please strip notes not directly useful to a globally blocking administrator, or to a future rechecking administrator (signatures and templates are not necessary).
