I slightly illustrated the answer from Vlad Chernik and added validation of the found addresses using the ipaddr standard library:

require 'ipaddr'

text = "Proxy IP Proxy Port Last Check Proxy

valid_ip = []

text.scan(/\b(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\b/).map do |ip|
    valid_ip << ip if !(IPAddr.new(ip) rescue nil).nil?
end

puts valid_ip

IPv4/IPv6 can be checked through another Resolv standard library :

require 'resolv'
 
str = "178.248.232.5"
 
case str
when Resolv::IPv4::Regex
  puts "It's a valid IPv4 address."
when Resolv::IPv6::Regex
  puts "It's a valid IPv6 address."
else
  puts "It's not a valid IP address."
end
