Line 1:
When an [[IP address|IP-address]] has done an edit, a database with open proxy addresses is automatically searched. This database is periodically maintained and consists of more than half a million IP-addresses and IP-ranges. If a match is found, it is reported on [[Wikipedia:Open proxy detection|this page]].
 
This automatic reporting only takes place if the server of [[w:nl:Overleg_Gebruiker:RonaldB|RonaldB]] is on-line. This is close to 7/24, but there might be drop-outs.
