Bug ID: 56681
Summary: Blocking user autoblocks many user with ipv6
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: ipv6
Severity: critical
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Today a user on dewiki was blocked and other users getting autoblock, but that
was too much user to have the same public ip address than the blocked user.
Some of the user copy and paste the autoblocktext which was shown. The IP
addresse in that piece of text was 2620:0:862:1:a6ba:dbff:fe30:d853. According
to utrace this is a wikimedia ipv6 address. It looks like, user with ipv6 does
not reaching wikipedia with its own public ipv6, instead there are tunneling
through a wikimedia gateway to wikipedia or something other, which changes the
ip in the header.
Please fix this to avoid a mass block of many ipv6 users and to avoid false
positive in check user. Thanks.
