:::Yes, but IPcheck shows nothing suggesting it's a proxy, an nmap scan shows nothing but a firewall, and review of the associated hostname shows it's associated with a vehicle traffic management company. I really don't see any evidence other than the other wiki's block that this is an open proxy. Because I'm not sure what the block on ruwiki and ruwikiquote are based on and you seem quite sure, I'll reopen this for a second opinion, but I really don't see anything that suggests someone else's opinion will be different. —‍[[User:Mdaniels5757|Mdaniels5757]] ([[User talk:Mdaniels5757|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mdaniels5757|contribs]]) 03:32, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
::::Well let's ping {{U|Q-bit array}}, the bot-op responsible for the block, for additional input. [[Special:Contributions/74.73.224.126|74.73.224.126]] ([[User talk:74.73.224.126|talk]]) 03:46, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
::::: Hello! According to my bot's logs, the IP was recognized as a proxy by proxycheck.io. I have an extended paid subscription there, so it tends to detect more than the free version of the service. P.S.: If your "proxy-loving" LTA used it recently then it's additional strong evidence that it's a proxy (or he's currently on vacation in the South Africa, which is not that likely). -- [[User:Q-bit array|Q-bit array]] ([[User talk:Q-bit array|talk]]) 07:11, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
::::@[[User:Mdaniels5757|Mdaniels5757]] this IP is likely part of a residential proxy network. Those don't tend to show up on a port scan through nmap or Shodan, so you need to check other services like IPQualityScore or Spur.
