	Hi {{ping\|Synoman Barris}}, welcome back, and I see that you have made the WikiJunior Books wiki, which sounds interesting. [[meta:No open proxies\|no open proxies]] is indeed a global policy that applies to ''all'' wikis, and we have a proxy bot that automatically blocks open proxies upon discovery. [[meta:Stewards\|Stewards]] and [[meta:Global Sysops\|Global Sysops]] also routinely block them on discovery. As well, we also have the TorBlock extension that blocks Tor exit nodes. That being said, if you have trusted users who wish to [[Special:UserLogin\|login]] and use either Tor for privacy reasons or other state-imposed limitations, then you can either whitelist, locally, certain globally blocked IP addresses, or create a local <code>ipblock-exempt</code> and/or <code>torunblocked</code> user group. If they are trusted Mirahezians, they can also request a [[meta:Global IP block exemption\|global IP block exemption]]. Anyway, that's probably a somewhat longer answer to your question, some of which you may not have needed, but hope that clarifies.
