Help:Whitelist Wikipedia on your VPN
 | This help page is a how-to guide. It explains concepts or processes used by the Wikipedia community. It is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, and may reflect varying levels of consensus. |
Wikipedia's no open proxies policy permits VPNs to be blocked for any period of time to counter abuse. Whitelisting Wikipedia only takes a few steps on most VPN services such as iCloud Private Relay and Microsoft Edge Secure Network, and will allow you to avoid collateral damage blocks that result from VPN usage.
- iPhone or iPad: Open page settings, then click on "Show IP Address".
- Mac: Choose "View" > "Reload and Show IP Address".
 | The whitelist and blacklist appear to be flipped as a result of a Microsoft Edge bug. |
- Type edge://settings/privacy/security/SecureNetworkSites in the address bar.
- Add the following site to "Never use Secure Network for these sites": https://en.wikipedia.org.
- For other Wikimedia sites, do the same.
