TheOpen proxies noticeboard seeks to identify, verify and blockopen proxies and anonymity network exit nodes. To prevent abuse or vandalism, only proxy checks byverified users will be accepted. All users are welcome to discuss on the talk page, report possible proxies, or request that a blocked IP be rechecked.
If you've been blocked as an open proxy, please see:Help:blocked.
To report a proxy check or an incorrect block, see the#Reporting section.
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.
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; remember that it takes the volunteers here about 5-10 minutes to give a request a thorough check.

Reason: Following up from the previous Zscaler range report, these ranges should have their block downgraded to anonymous only. Note that some of these are globally blocked.Kline •talk •contribs04:47, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We continue to get global disruption from this proxy across projects. If you would like to allow these, you could unblock them locally (useSpecial:GlobalBlockWhitelist) , then reblock with whatever setting you want. People using other people's computers can also ask their administrator to whitelist ourdomains, assuming their administrators want their computers used for those purposes. —xaosfluxTalk14:16, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
User:AntiCompositeBot/ASNBlock maintained byUser:AntiCompositeBot is a list of hosting provider ranges that need assessment for blocks that is updated daily. Admins are encouraged to review the list and assess for blocks as needed. All administrators are individually responsible for any blocks they make based on that list.
ISP Rangefinder is a tool that allows administrators to easily identify and hard block all ranges for an entire ISP. It should be used with extreme caution, but is useful for blocking known open proxy providers. All administrators are individually responsible for any blocks they make based on the results from this tool.
IPCheck is a tool that can help provide clues about potential open proxies.
Bullseye provides information about IPS, including clues about potential open proxies.
