Reason: A new IP that has been adding improper categories to articles, e.g. [1]. Normchou 💬 17:22, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- This is
not currently an open proxy. Spur and IPQS are flagging and there has been problematic activity originating from this IP in the past, but I think we might be looking at a shared IP that has some problematic hosts behind it. The traffic from both the individual IP and the range is consistent with the geolocation, which is an additional indicator that whoever is using it is not on a proxy. Closing.

Proton VPN. Must be a proxy as I made this report while using it.--- Possibly (talk) 19:44, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Possibly, this range has been hardblocked both globally and locally since December – are you sure you have your VPN turned on? Blablubbs|talk 21:23, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Blablubbs: There's always the chance that it was malfunctioning, but it said it was active and that I was connected via 89.187.179.57. A checkuser can confirm this by looking at the IP for my first edit here. .--- Possibly (talk) 22:00, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- I added another from Proton that also allows me to edit (108.62.49.129)... very curious. whatismyipaddress.com also confirms 108.62.49.129 is my IP.--- Possibly (talk) 22:03, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- And this edit made with a third Proton VPN IP, also confirmed via whatismyipaddress.com: 209.58.142.158. Obviously I have hit the magic bit or something.--- Possibly (talk) 22:10, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Possibly, uh, yeah, all of those are hardblocked. I'm going to whistle up a checkuser to see if you're actually going through those IPs. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:59, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- good idea. --- Possibly (talk) 01:08, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- I'm looking. EdJohnston (talk) 02:19, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- All the rangeblocks appear to be working as designed. Note that a hardblock of an IP doesn't keep you from logging in, it only keeps you from making any edits through that IP. User:Possibly, my guess is that the tools you are using do not report correctly the actual IP you are using to edit Wikipedia. I reviewed one of the IPs in detail and all I could see were user sign-ins (which are not blocked), and edits by people who were IP-block exempt. EdJohnston (talk) 02:33, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston: Thanks. I still think something funny is happening, because this reply is coming to you from 185.230.126.3, which is a Sencca Ohio IP via Proton VPN. I'm in Montreal. --- Possibly (talk) 02:38, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Not from what I can see. EdJohnston (talk) 02:42, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. As far as I can tell, Proton is routing Wikipedia traffic directly, even if the VPN is on. Good for them. 184.162.187.170 (talk) 03:00, 27 March 2021 (UTC) yes that was me with VPN on.--- Possibly (talk) 03:01, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Check declined by a checkuser - per my understanding of the local checkuser policy, we cannot publicly reveal an account's IP even by the accountholder's request (this is a difference from the global policy). I would have suggested trying to edit logged out to see what IP you're actually connecting to Wikipedia with, but it looks like you've already done that. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:49, 27 March 2021 (UTC)- I'm going to close this - every reported IP is both locally and globally blocked, this looks more like some kind of weird routing/VPN issues on Possibly's end.

According to Spur, this is a SockHub proxy. It is a malware network. If you check details on Shodan, it clearly appears to be a compromised web server (e.g. many ports open, including a MySQL server) on a residential network. It seems it runs an open shadowsocks proxy. MarioGom (talk) 08:24, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Astrill VPN node (see Spur). MarioGom (talk) 17:37, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- This is shinjiru, a webhosting provider. I went through – the entire ASN is good to whack, it's all this provider.
Awaiting administrative action – please block the lot. While they do offer colocation, they also host VPNs and there has been abuse of these ranges by socks see (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lesbianadvocate), so I'd go with hardblocks (especially because positions on whether to soft- or hardblock mixed webhost/colo ranges seem to vary widely in the first place).

Ipqualityscore believes this is a proxy. Spamhaus thinks it is a compromised device. Safari and Chrome, when asked to search for this IP, believe the site has a bad security certificate. EdJohnston (talk) 00:50, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Reason: Suspicious editing as only editor with substantial additions at Steve Starks, after it was created by a sockfarm that is known for using residential proxies (see COIN and SPI evidence) Bri.public (talk) 17:49, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
In progress. --Blablubbs|talk 17:50, 28 April 2021 (UTC)- @Bri: This was a bit of a rabbit hole. Technical indicators and APIs say "probably not", but my gut says "probably yes", so I'll have to leave you with
Inconclusive. To explain what I mean by that: While this IP isn't being flagged anywhere, the behaviour does make it look suspicious, as does the ISP. The ASN belongs to "HONG KONG BRIDGE INFO-TECH LIMITED, HK", and the actual range is owned by "UNION FU WAH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY LIMITED". The former seems to be a webshop selling networking equipment to business customers (you'll have to skip the cert error or believe me on that). For both, there is very little information – I talked to a Chinese speaker who didn't find much else either. The ISPs we are looking at are solidly in the "dodgy" category – other hosts on the ASN that have edits coming out of them are almost certainly webhosts ([2][3]) and might be running proxies, but I can't give you anything more than that on the ISP front. This specific device is a MikroTik router; they are cheap, ubiquitous, and have a good number of security issues. The edits coming out of the IP don't really seem consistent with the geographical location, and the sockfarm link is intriguing, even though this is not the type of proxy that this sockfarm is known to be on. From a purely technical standpoint however, I don't see anything that would make it clear farm this is indeed a proxy, and it might well not be; I'm closing this without action – if you're confident in the behavioural link, I'd consider taking this to SPI instead; the IP looks rather static, so it would likely be good for a long block. --Blablubbs|talk 18:47, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

- Bri.public, 45.64.242.170, 49.130.129.54, 45.64.240.194 are very
Unlikely (I don't like giving "nope" results because there will always be proxies we miss and residential ones can complicate things). They all belong to the same mobile provider, and the two that have edited in January are on the same /24. At least two have run residential proxies recently, but they're either shared or highly dynamic (or both), so I wouldn't put too much stock in that (beans beans beans but I will say that this is not an unexpected result), and with regard to residential proxies, they are functionally stale. They are certainly not Astrill (an entirely different type of proxy), which would be inconsistent with this farm. I think it's more likely that this is a) the farm loutsocking while not on proxy or b) MEAT, e.g. a separate branch of the same operation. I'll leave this open in case you come across any others.

Ipcheck says this IP is identified as: papers1.tricubemedia.com
- See http://www.tricubemedia.com for what this company is.
- More information is at https://ca.linkedin.com/company/tricube-media
“TriCube Media is a New Media company based out of Medicine Hat, Alberta offering web design and development as well as business building and branding services."
“At TriCube Media we offer a wide range of services such as web design and development, internet advertising, company branding and collateral design, multimedia presentations and more. We have all the tools needed for any size job, whether you are a small local business or a large company.”
Evidently this IP is not operated as an ISP serving end users, it is most likely a web host. The underlying ISP is Shaw Communications Inc. My guess is that this is a misconfigured business computer that is being used in unauthorized fashion as an open proxy. What spur.us says is:
- "66.244.236.246 proxies traffic for residential or call-back proxy networks. The owner of 66.244.236.246 is likely unaware of this activity. There are not many devices that use 66.244.236.246. Our API or data feeds identify VPN, proxy and malware associations with 66.244.236.246."
Reason: Suspected open proxy. EdJohnston (talk) 01:37, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston: I'm going to call it very Unlikely that the people using this IP on WP are on proxy. It is true that the device(s) behind the IP tunnel(s) traffic for some callback networks, but those specific networks are not the type that are frequently going to be used for proxying on Wikipedia. The actual IP is indeed owned by Tricube though (sublet from Shaw's business branch), and I'll go out on a limb and say that if there are accounts on them that are editing in a COI-ish manner and don't have big disclosure notices on their userpages, they should probably be indeffed. IP, if you're reading, you should probably uninstall some apps. Closing. --Blablubbs|talk 11:09, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

5 IPs with similar behavior on the same article, whois points to a "rent-a-mac" colocation host (https://macminivault.com) and/or CyberLynk, some IPs blocked on other wikis as open proxies. ~ANM🐁 T·C 02:21, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

- These are indeed all macminivault ranges, and all sublet from Cyberlink. MMV is essentially a dedicated server provider and should be hardblocked as such, though I do not think that this is necessarily a deliberate attempt at anonymisation. Cyberlink does both Colocation and Webhosting. Awaiting administrative action: The following are macminivault ranges and should be hardblocked:
- The following are other cyberlink ranges that have edits coming out of them, including abusive ones. If someone has the time to do the entire ASN (see here) that's good as well. Whether you hand out soft- or hardblocks is a matter of preference (if they are hard, the above ranges can be left alone, otherwise those subranges will have to be reinforced as separate hardblocks):

Reason: Saw on my Huggle session today that there were these two IPs that displayed similar behavior. I was wondering if it would be possible to check if they're related. CyanoTex (talk) 22:28, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- IPs are not proxies; they are however related in the sense that they're on the same range (). Closing. --Blablubbs|talk 08:42, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you, Blablubbs.
- I do suggest checking both of their edit histories, I couldn't help but notice a similar behavior between them. CyanoTex (talk) 11:57, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- CyanoTex, yes, they were most certainly used by the same person, but that does not make them proxies; some ISPs assign their IPs very dynamically, meaning that an individual user may go through a number of IP addresses in short periods of time. This is especially common for mobile internet connections, which is what we're looking at here. --Blablubbs|talk 12:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

My initial assessments of ISPs and ranges:
- ISP: Unlimited Net, LLC is a hosting provider ([4]). It also provides rural internet access, but I doubt it's on this range. I would suggest blocking 198.134.104.0/21, which contains other VPNs, like Hotsport VPN on 198.134.107.198.
- All ranges in ISP: Charles River Operation should be good to block. See previous report for VPNs in this provider. Note that the reported range 154.3.222.0/24 seems to be missing from ISP range finger.
- ISP: Hoyos Consulting LLC} could be good to block, or at least 204.15.110.0/23. Otherwise, block all individual IPs.
- ISP: AltusHost B.V. (dedicated servers, [5]), please, block 31.3.152.0/24 and all other ranges in the ASN.
- ISP: Intergrid Group Pty Ltd (dedicated servers, colocation, [6]), please block 103.76.164.0/23 and any other range in the ASN.

- There's quite a lot here. Awaiting administrative action – see below
- Everything in that I had a look at is a Confirmed VPN. Please hardblock the range for two years.
- appears to have legitimate (i.e. colo) connections on it. Please hardblock the individual IPs listed above for two years, the range soft for the same duration. The rest of the ASN should be good for softblocks, though a quick look indicates that there isn't much (logged-out) activity coming out of it.
- Hoyos seems to offer regular business customer connections if I am reading the "Internet Services" section on their website correctly, though it might just be colo. 2O appreciated, otherwise please stick to the individual IPs.
- Altus does both DS and colo, but it's full of proxies and problematic edits. The range mentioned above should be hardblocked as should some ranges that are complete VPNfests:
- Everything in that I had a look at is a
- – in addition, please block the following, either soft or hard as you prefer.
- The remaining intergrid ranges all appear to be sublet to businesses, I'm not comfortable endorsing blocks for all of those. However, please do hardblock for two years as well. Thanks. --Blablubbs|talk 10:23, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
