103.23.206.0/23

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

103.23.206.0/23 · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google

Reason: Requested unblock or softening. Non-proxy collateral on this range. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 01:23, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rich Smith. Have you discussed this with the blocking admin ST47? Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:07, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Malcolmxl5: I have not, my last attempt at asking ST47 about a block, albeit by their bot, was left unanswered - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 15:43, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rich Smith. I understand. ST47 hasn’t edited for a while so let’s have a look at this. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Malcolmxl5: Anything? - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 23:20, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

113.203.237.84

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

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

Reason: I've blocked this IP for vandalism, and I noticed that it's tagged by a third parts as a VPN server. It would be useful for a CU to check if this is a proxy, so as to both hardblock and extend the length. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 05:09, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Not a CU) IP2Location identifies this IP as a Surfshark VPN[1] but I don’t know how reliable IP2Location is. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:39, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

62.216.233.206

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

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

Reason: Reported as a proxy/vpn via IPCheck and datacenter via whatismyipaddress. May be worth checking the whole range as the ISP (Equinix) provides datacenters. Kline • talk • contribs 19:36, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

91.239.6.150

– This proxy check request is closed and will soon be archived by a bot.

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

Reason: Showed up at the same AFD that's been getting hit with these, and the geolocate link reports it as a VPN server. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:48, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Open proxy blocked. Another Nord VPN. 91.239.6.0/24 is blocked as a web host provider with multiple Nord VPNs in this range also blocked. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

27.254.113.0/24

– This proxy check request is closed and will soon be archived by a bot.

27.254.113.0/24 · contribs · block · log · stalk · Robtex · whois · Google

Reason: Appears to be a datacenter range that also would appear to have a Spur-identified VPNgate proxy exit node at 27.254.113.70. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Completed. @Red-tailed hawk. A feature of VPN Gate proxies is that volunteers use their computers as 'servers' and the proxies are characteristically randomly located rather than grouped in a net block. The IP has been blocked by Rsjaffe and some spot checking shows no others in the /24. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:29, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
