Reason: Requested unblock/softening. Another ST47 block which looks to be excessive. Converge ICT Solutions DO offer co-location, but they also offer residential fibre internet connections. This seems to be the latter. Outside of just this request I want to make 2 others

  1. Any hardblock that ST47 (or their bot) has place is reviewed
  2. Any Converge ICT Solutions block is reduced to a softblock (or unblocked), to be re-instated if issues occur. - RichT|C|E-Mail 15:22, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It’s probably a school as the ISP (Oakford Internet Services) specialises in the education sector and it’s likely a mix of anonymous activity and normal activity as Spur says. That said, I think we can give this one a 'likely a school' block. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:20, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting an unblock for this range (which came up in an ACC request): although this ISP offers residential, business, and data center services, I don't see anything indicating this range is for webhosting. Please ping me if this is unblocked. — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This block is overbroad: only 203.175.0.0/24 seems to belong to Amazon Web Services' AES (AS14618). Other subnets do not seem to be webhosts. Please ping if unblocking. Thanks, — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:10, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Per WHOIS, PureVoltage VPN IP range. IP user avoiding recent block - see previous evasion. Tule-hog (talk) 17:18, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(I have suggested wider protections at AN as recommended at linked SPI. Filing here in meantime.) Tule-hog (talk) 17:22, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The ISP is PureVoltage Hosting, which, as you might expect, offers colocation/webhost services, apparently including anonymizing VPNs and public proxies. The /20 is not a busy range though I do see a NetFree VPN on it. Anyway, blocked as a colocation/webhost service. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:21, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.

Reason: geolocates as Amazon data center; editing looks like a malformed spam attempt. ☆ Bri (talk) 21:27, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
