I've blocked them previously:

15.164.73.143 may have been discontinued since then:
143.73.164.15.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 
ec2-15-164-73-143.ap-northeast-2.compute.amazonaws.com.

34.227.19.103 is the first one to use the new domain:
119.129.104.3.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 
starttls-sydney.proxy-research.com.
147.24.188.15.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 
starttls-paris.proxy-research.com.
103.19.227.34.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 
starttls-virginia.securing-email.com.
221.237.94.54.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 
starttls-saopaulo.proxy-research.com.
149.79.187.54.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 
starttls-oregon.proxy-research.com.

I think it's just a coincidence that the one you mention is named
"virginia" because it's hosted at AWS. I don't think this is vt.edu.
