Bug#785057: wiki.debian.org: unblock IPredator VPN
Hi guys, i got the same problem that i use ippredator and it seems their whole ip range is blocked for the wiki :-( wasn't it only single ips spammin? In germany some freifunk communities use ippredator as vpn so all the clients of these nodes won't be able to see any debian wiki page... isn't it possible to only block write access at least? Actually i couldn't find any other page on the net blocking ippredator than wiki.debian.org, and no dnsbl has an entry of a ippredator ips that ive checked http://multirbl.valli.org ...so i really wonder Greetings

Also when they try to register we block IPs based on a number of heuristics. 2. if you have contacted the abuse contacts like IPredator, and Steve regularly contacts abuse addresses but we seem to have some sort of communications failure here so we should probably remove IPredator from the blacklist until we see some issues. 3. why you also ban reading the Wiki instead of writing or account-creation only? This is how MoinMoin works, we will probably want to patch that. We should probably make the blacklist time limited too. We'll talk about this at the wiki BoF this week. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Bug#785057: wiki.debian.org: unblock IPredator VPN
Package: wiki.debian.org Apparently, wiki.debian.org blocks requests from users of the IPredator VPN service https://ipredator.se/. Without my IPredator VPN, I can request https://wiki.debian.org/ (and sub-pages) fine. With VPN, I always get a page saying: Forbindden You are not allowed to access this! Currently, they give me an IPv4-address in the block 46.246.46.0/24. Whatever the reason for the block was: please unblock VPN users. If you can't, then please at least enable read-access, and maybe deny account signup. Thanks, and keep up the good work! -- ilf Über 80 Millionen Deutsche benutzen keine Konsole.

If you want to access the Debian wiki, don't use a known spam haven as a transport. I'm not going to unblock IPredator. -- Steve McIntyre93...@debian.org Debian wiki admin - wiki.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
