That would mean knowingly allowing specific open proxies (which, by definition, anyone can then use to troll/vandalise/etc.).
Yes, off course. That is the idea of a override. It is not because a user is using a open proxy the will vandalise anything. I would like to have the option to allow write acces to a user who has been blocked by the proxy blocker if I feel it is necessary.
You are forgetting that an OPEN proxy means that ANYONE can use it to troll and vandalise. People are free to use some sort of proxy to edit Wikipedia, but it MUST be a secure proxy. If even just one open proxy is explicitly allowed on Wikipedia, then the whole Proxy Blocker business is entirely pointless.
