A suggestion: instead of blocking auto-detected open proxies indefinitely, they should only be blocked for a limited period such as one week. This will mean that they will automatically drop out of the block list if they get fixed, but they will still only need re-testing at most once a week if not fixed. Otherwise, the block list may grow to be very long over time, making it awkward to manage, as almost all the entries on it will be permanently blocked proxies.
Agreed; I'm quite surprised it's listed as indefinite now.
