MaxMind (a great product)
I've heard anecdotal accounts of MaxMind intentionally marking all address blocks assigned to a VPN vendor as "open proxy" even when advised repeatedly that the disputed addresses (a) had no VPN services running on them either inbound or outbound, and (b) in fact were web servers for the company's payment system, or mail servers for their corporate email. Kind of reminiscent of dealing with certain RBLs for whom "personal beef" was enough reason to list an address. So, folks might want to temper the "great product" comment with this anti-endorsement. -r
