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 7/24/7, but there might be drop-outs. The system receives input from the <span class="plainlinks">[irc://irc.wikimedia.org/{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}.{{SITENAME}} irc-stream of recent changes]</span>. If the system is operational, it is logged-in with the name: op-nnnnn, in which nnnnn is a 5-digit number.
