CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address (or network) has been used abusively.
This address (or network) has been blocked temporarily or permanently to prevent further abuse.

In extreme cases, an entire network may be blocked to prevent an abusive user from continually changing their IP address in order to evade blocks or abusing multiple accounts. If you are a registered user and are seeing this message, please follow these instructions.

Administrators: CheckUsers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy, and therefore must be consulted before this block can be removed.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "This is definitely NOT open-proxy, but shared IP. Read about NAT. Unblock it ASAP, please. Thanks."

Decline reason: "Looks like it is to me. You'll have to contact your ISP. —Pilotguy go around 19:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)"

Request reason: "How did you check it? AFAIK it is NOT open-proxy. If you claim otherwise, prove it somehow."

Decline reason: "To say the least, your IP shows up on 4 real-time blacklists (see "Multi-RBL" list, above). Jpgordon, the administrator who blocked you, is a checkuser and well aware of how to check for open proxies. Sorry, but it looks like you'll need to use another web connection. – Luna Santin (talk) 21:23, 3 March 2007 (UTC)"

Request reason: "I'm sorry, but he is simply wrong. This IP is NOT open-proxy. Multi-RBL lists also open relays, but open relays are not the same thing as open-proxy. BTW - jpgordon is not present in this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_on_open_proxies/verified_users (nor you are)."

Decline reason: "It's a proxy. Complain to your ISP about it, not us. —Pilotguy go around 23:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)"

Unblocked

Per a request on meta, I've rechecked this ip, and it appears to me to be quite secure. It has four red listings on Multi-RBL, including a SORBS listing; however, all listings are for spam concerns, not for being a zombie or an OP. In any case, I do believe this proxy was once open, but is not any more. For this reason, I'm going to unblock--if anyone objects, please feel free to reblock; however, please kindly let me know. Below are the nmap results on this ip as of 9 March 07:

Thanks for unblock

Thank you for checking this IP and confirming that it is not open-proxy. BTW - you've written: I do believe this proxy was once open,(...) -- just for the record - I want to say that I checked this IP in similar manner from external host and I got similar results - i.e. not open-proxy - IN A DAY OF BLOCK. So I believe this block was unfounded from the beginning. Anyway, thanks again for unblocking and have a nice vacation. 83.238.180.4 16:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
