Vs. Open Proxies
[edit]I don't need to introduce myself, do I? But for your information, I am asking here because you're one of the folks with root access to that server and can make a big change if need be. There's been a relentless wave of long-term abusers who have created sock after sock to continue their tenacious streak of trolling and harassment, mostly via VPNs and other open proxies. Wikipedia already has a no open proxies policy in place per WP:NOP, so what would it take to implement that policy over there as well? (Though I understand that here on Wikipedia, there's been some issues regarding managing open proxies, as there's a proposal regarding the abuse filter that is still in the works as of speaking but hasn't seen an update since last October. So no pressure.) TheEternalOutsider (talk) 20:58, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- RW already blocks at least some open proxies. I'll have a look what's up with that - David Gerard (talk) 21:53, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
