165.85.64.0/22

edit

  – A proxy checker has requested a second opinion on this case.

Reason: Amazon AWB. 165.85.64.0 - 165.85.66.255 are all registered to Amazon AWB, hence the /22 range in this report. BLP disruption caught by filter log. 73.67.145.30 (talk) 16:45, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: VPN. Perimeter 81. 73.67.145.30 (talk) 18:43, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Confirmed While the range is announced by Perimeter 81, and a large portion of it seems to be empty per Spur and Shodan, there are IP ranges within that are active on Perimeter 81's VPN product. However that product is aimed at businesses, with pricing to match. This seems similar to the Zscaler, McAfee WGCS cases that are also open at present. A softblock on the range might be appropriate however, the one contributor who was active on 15 May 2023 was using an IP that's part of their VPN range. While I've tried to pin down the exact range for just the IPs that are part of their VPN offering, it seems somewhat spread out throughout it with gaps, so it might be more expedient to just block it in its entirety. Flagging this for a 2O though, while we figure out how to handle this particular type of VPN provider. Sideswipe9th (talk) 00:22, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Cloud server/VPN. This is an odd one, because the IP range geolocates to Turkey, and is listed as a VPN network; but most of the edits are to Turkish-related articles. Is this some sort of corporate cloud network? 2601:1C0:4401:F60:8C11:4CC3:7E71:B4CE (talk) 20:54, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Inconclusive. It’s showing up as a Forcepoint gateway proxy. Forcepoint is a company that provides cybersecurity services for businesses and governments so, yes, coupled with it geolocating to Turkey and editing Turkish topics, which is not typical proxy behaviour, this probably is a corporate gateway. It's not very busy and looks low risk; I’ll mark it as inconclusive. Closing. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:05, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason:Listed ISP is FedEx which is not a legitimate provider, in addition these various FedEx proxy ranges are used by a LTA and extensive sock puppeteer HaughtonBrit to block evade and push tendentious edits in various South Asian topics.

  Unlikely IP is an open proxy. It's not uncommon for an IP address or range of IP addresses to be owned by non-ISP organisations and I can't corroborate that this is a proxy or VPN. That’s not to say that disruptive editing can’t be blocked where it occurs but this is one edit almost four months ago handled by a revert so there is nothing more to be done now.

110.93.85.16 and others

edit

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

Reason: Questionable beauty pageant editing for some time from IPs in 110.93.85.0/24, and recent use by those noted above; spur reports both belong to a call-back proxy network. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
