Any references on that? (I am trying to work toward a version that fits on one page, at least for me.) David Garfield 04:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Hey, David, how are you doing?

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 2001:470:8ed9:1:5e85:7eff:fe41:b645 and 2001:470:8ed9:1::1 and all of 2001:470:8ed9::/48.

Why should you be unblocked?

Address block 2001:470:8000::/33 has been blocked on the claim that it is a "web host provider or colocation provider". This is part of Hurricane Electric (he.net), which does provide these services. But they are also an IPv6 tunnel provider, and such users SHOULD be allowed to edit. In particular, I am at 2001:470:8ed9::/48 and would to be able to edit using IPv6. I can't be sure, but I think 2001:470:8800::/37 is all tunnels. There is a whois server at rwhois.he.net:4321 that can provide some information on specific blocks.

Decline reason:

You've been editing since this request, so it appears unnecessary. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:09, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@ST47: You blocked the range 2001:470:8000::/33 - would you look into this appeal? ~Anachronist (talk) 02:59, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Hurricane electric is unfortunately functionally an anonymizing proxy. Any user can sign up for a tunnel, or multiple tunnels, and can move their range around the world at will. ^{!ɘM γɿɘυϘ}⅃ϘƧ 21:08, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

I think by this argument one could argue to block every home user, since they can generally change their IP address by the simple expedient of a DHCP Release and Request. With HE, one can't move ones range around the world, as the ranges are tunnelbroker server specific, for routing purposes. I admit one can get ranges around the world, but they would be different ones. David Garfield (talk) 03:43, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

You can choose your tunnelbroker server... I see options all over the US, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Oceania, and the Middle East. You can create more ranges and/or delete and recreate them using different servers as much as you like. Releasing and renewing a DHCP lease with a residential provider generally does not allow one to teleport the proxy's endpoint to a different country / isp, and as such, is not comparable.

It is incorrect to think you are switching to a different isp: it is still HE. I fail to see how a different country makes any difference. Switching addresses is supposedly the relevant thing, and DHCP lease changes can get you all over the IP space, and yield anonymity. Thinking about it, smart phones bounce a lot MORE, as every request might get a new source address -- should they be blocked too? David Garfield (talk) 13:03, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
