--- Comment #11 from Gurch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-12-06 01:43:24 UTC --- From en.wikipedia administrators' noticeboard: Actually, this is where UK users of certain ISPs (at least UK Online) get proxied trough when a site has been flagged by the UK Internet Watch Foundation http://www.iwf.org.uk At least, i think so, I googled a bit for the IP and found the following postings http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=ukonline&Number=3474948&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=0 http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=ukonline&Number=3462429&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=0&fpart=all&vc=1(BIG). It seems wikipedia got flagged for childpornography. The other IP addresses might be the filters of other ISPs. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 00:31, 6 December 2008 (UTC) This explains a lot if true; we seem to have multiple providers all simultaneously setting up a transparent proxy on Wikimedia, and only Wikimedia. In a way I hope it's not true because it means a media shitstorm, but... meh. Someone ought to contact, er, whoever the relevant authorities are. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
