Help with Teahouse/Help desk abuse

For the past two days, we've had to temporarily semi-protect the Teahouse and Help desk due to a proxy-hopping vandal. My savviest approach has been to block the proxy IPs and implement one-hour protection. We'd generally prefer to not protect those pages, since they're places for new and unregistered users to get support. Can those with more know-how suggest a better approach? List of IPs in the collapsed section below.

MEGA VPN

A few days ago, MEGA launched its own VPN service. See their website.

I went through all their locations, and here's what I found:

Location IPv4 range IPv6 range
Belgium 94.24.37.142
94.24.37.160 		94.24.37.0/24 2a0b:e45:1::160 2a0b:e45::/32
Canada (East) 162.208.16.120 162.208.16.0/24 2a0b:e41:2::120 2a0b:e41::/32
Canada (West) Appears not to be working at this time.
France 185.206.26.120
185.206.26.122 		185.206.24.0/22 2a0b:e42:1::120
2a0b:e42:1::122 		2a0b:e42::/32
Germany 94.24.36.91
94.24.36.122 		94.24.36.0/23 2a0b:e44:1::91
2a0b:e44:1::122 		2a0b:e44::/32
Japan 103.99.35.120 103.99.35.0/24 2001:df1:e7c0::99 2001:df1:e7c0::/47 (When our gateway tool tries to process this range, it jams.)
Luxembourg 89.44.168.254 89.44.168.0/23 2001:678:25c:2216::254 2001:678:25c::/48
Netherlands 185.206.24.108 185.206.24.0/22 2a0b:e40:1::108 2a0b:e40::/32
New Zealand 122.56.56.198 122.56.56.0/22 2403:9800:c020::120 ???
Spain 185.206.27.114
185.206.27.120 		185.206.24.0/22 2a0b:e43:1::120 2a0b:e43::/32
United States (East) 135.148.69.59 135.148.0.0/16 2604:2dc0:105:1200::120 Various
United States (West) 23.81.166.112 23.81.160.0/21 2605:fe80:2100:a108:4::112 2605:fe80::/32

(NB: according to the WHOIS, the Japanese IP is in fact from New Zealand, not Japan.)

I tried all locations multiple times over a period of several hours. I didn't find a place that has more than two IPs. But this VPN is just starting up, and compared to other VPNs, it's all quite limited. So they'll likely add more servers in the future.

He Malcolmxl5! Thanks for blocking some of these. You didn't block 'em all, though. Does that have a specific reason? Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 18:32, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
No, I got distracted. I’ll pick up the others later. Thanks for your work on these. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:09, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Ok, no problem. Thanks again! - Manifestation (talk) 20:16, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
