The '''WikiProject on open proxies''' seeks to identify, verify and block [[WP:NOP|open proxies]] and anonymity network exit nodes. To prevent abuse or vandalism, only proxy checks by [[/verified users|verified 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: [[m:WM:OP/H|Help:blocked]]'''''.
* To report a proxy check or an incorrect block, see the [[#Reporting]] section.

=Automated lists and tools=
*[[User:AntiCompositeBot/ASNBlock]] maintained by [[User: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.
*[[toolforge:isprangefinder|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.
*[[toolforge:ipcheck|IPCheck]] is a tool that can help provide clues about potential open proxies.
