Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Anti-harassment/Allow checkusers to use XFF variable in Abusefilters/Proposal/en
- Problem: As with the User-Agent wish, long-term abusers use open proxies and gates for evading locks, bans or blocks. Not every anonymous service can be handled by phab:T25343 or global blocking such VPN gate's tunnels. Local management through AbuseFilter is a must-have.

- Who would benefit: Everyone
- More comments: Needs an AbuseFilter-CheckUser level. See mw:Extension:CheckUser#XFF Format.
