Bug ID: 54597
Summary: Remove $wgBlockOpenProxies (or move to an extension)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.22-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User blocking
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected],

Blocks: 29145
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
From includes/DefaultSettings.php:
/**
* If you enable this, every editor's IP address will be scanned for open HTTP
* proxies.
*
* @warning Don't enable this. Many sysops will report "hostile TCP port scans"
* to your ISP and ask for your server to be shut down.
* You have been warned.
*/
As a feature that, according to its documentation, most wikis should not
enable, and furthermore one that currently requires a deprecated, undocumented
setting ($wgProxyKey) to use securely, does it really make sense to keep it in
core MediaWiki?
