Well, it's easy enough to check if an IP is an open proxy. Those get blocked by the busload.I was talking mostly about fixed IPs or fixed ranges which can be attached to specific locations several countries away from each other. Say Canada, Germany and Australia without the use of open proxies.

Not in the least. Have a look at [[User:Lir]] some time.
I blocked someone recently who had posted (from memory) from Sweden, Canada, and Germany on the same evening, all open proxies.
