Bug #: 34288
Summary: Allow blocking private (internal) IPs passed by
X-Forwarded-For
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Blocking
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
This is an import of the feature request at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/XFF_project/RFC_1918.
Some proxies pass an X-Forwarded-For header with an internal IP as value. If
we could block the combination of internal and external (e.g. 10.1.0.0/16 via
62.171.194.4), that would allow us to target particular computers without
blocking the whole proxy.
There are several known proxies this applies to (listed at URL above), and
probably many more unknown. Several are schools. Those alone would provide a
significant benefit,
