Hi--I think this is a proxy? Maybe there's a range you can block. These edits are from a longterm disruptor, a really childish one. Thanks in advance! Drmies (talk) 13:34, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[1] UTRS ticket [2] is the reference. Shouldn't that /22 block be a /24 block? The /22 seems to be walking into a range that is not a webhost. I haven't reserved that ticket in case you want to handle it. Dennis Brown 2¢ 07:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dennis Brown: Looking at each of the constituent /24s, they are all proxy or cloud hosting services. In order, hostinger, packethub, and two by heficed. I think they're all eligible to stay blocked, and I note that the full /22 is also blocked globally. ST47 (talk) 22:12, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was my thing, I noticed that ISP is on a /24, not a /22, so there seems to be some collateral damage with a /22 block. I have no issue with the /24 being blocked, but I don't quite understand why the /22 is needed. Maybe it is just my misunderstanding (always possible), but it seems the ISP you are trying to block is only /24. The *.*.93.*/24 that the user is using isn't HOSTINGER-HOSTING (*.*.92.*/24), it is a different ISP altogether, TEFINCOMSA-AS-AP. Both are using /24 only. Again, maybe you did this on purpose and I just don't understand, but it *seems* that the /22 is walking outside of HOSTINGER's range, which is only a /24. Are we sure TEFINCOMSA is a relay? 02:57, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@Dennis Brown: the 93 range is Packethub which is a cloud service provider closely associated with public vpn services. google shows that tefincom is also closely associated with nordvpn. ST47 (talk) 04:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thanks for blocking users related to 'DENOSIO'.

As someone who has contributed to many visa policies and map production over the past 2 years, I have recently been focusing on defending and cleaning up the suddenly increasing number of successors to "DENOSIO."

I plan to continue to defend editors who deface visa pages in the future. Lades2222 (talk) 06:20, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
