217.66.152.139 is dynamic IP by SPb MTS. I'm not an open proxy, I'm a mobile inet user, pls unblock me :*(
Where are you blocked, which error message do you get?
It's on test-Wikidata client. I get error messages that my IP is open proxy while try to create account, feedback also doesn't work. I haven't find contacts of local admins, that's why I wrote here.
Nonsense. That IP is not blocked on test-Wikidata client. See the following URLs: http://wikidata-test-client.wikimedia.de/wiki/Special:BlockList?wpTarget=217.66.152.139&limit=50 http://wikidata-test-client.wikimedia.de/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block
Alexandr, can you provide a screenshot of the error message you get?
Created attachment 11480 [details] Screenshot The screenshot.
Seems that wikidata-test-client has $wgEnableDnsBlacklist = true; I don't know which blacklist they are using. The obvious choice would be the SORBS http popen proxy list, but your ip doesn't seem to be listed there (139.152.66.217.http.dnsbl.sorbs.net returns No such name). I have been asking for the name of the blacklist used.
[[Extension:SpamBlacklist]] is used on wikidata. I don't think we should manually change blocklists provided by 3rd parties. Proposing to close this report as WONTFIX. You should contact SPb MTS to fix their open proxies, and you could ask the DNS blocklist operator to get the IP off the list. But first I'd like to find out which DNS blocklist operator is used by Wikimedia.
This DNS operator is used by not Wikimedia. In Wikipedia, I edit from this IP logged or unlogged without troubles.
Hi, sorry for the late answer. I am using a DNS blacklist that is given as an example here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam. I'll discuss the issue here in the team - we had a real spam problem earlier. Thanks for reporting - you are the first one to complain.
Short version: Alexandr, the cbl claims that you are infected with the festi spambot. Long version: The ip is listed in spamhaus: 139.152.66.217.xbl.spamhaus.org. 127.0.0.4 [this means it comes from CBL] It can be consulted on http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=217.66.152.139 It appears both in the pbl (for emails) and in the xbl (the one used by wikidata). The entry in the xbl is there due to appearing in the cbl: http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=217.66.152.139 «IP Address 217.66.152.139 is listed in the CBL. It appears to be infected with a spam sending trojan, proxy or some other form of botnet. It was last detected at 2012-12-11 12:00 GMT (+/- 30 minutes), approximately 9 hours, 30 minutes ago. This IP is infected (or NATting for a computer that is infected) with the festi spambot. In other words, it's participating in a botnet. If you simply remove the listing without ensuring that the infection is removed (or the NAT secured), it will probably relist again.
