Block message:

Why you are seeing this message: Your current IP address is blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to belong to a VPN or proxy service.

These types of services are commonly used for abusive editing and circumventing Wikipedia policies, so Wikipedia blocks them as a preventive measure — even if you personally haven't done anything wrong.

How to fix it:

Turn off VPNs, proxies, or tools like iCloud Private Relay (for Apple users) or Microsoft Edge Secure Network. This is the most frequent reason users encounter this block.
Try a different connection. Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or use a home network instead of a public or work one.
Whitelist Wikipedia. You may be able to whitelist Wikipedia from your VPN so that connections to Wikipedia aren't through a VPN service. Instructions for whitelisting Wikipedia on iCloud Private Relay can be found here.
Still blocked? If you believe you are not running an anonymizing proxy or Tor, you should consider checking the configuration to make sure it is accurate. Sometimes the configuration for your network is changed without your knowledge, sometimes by malware. In truly exceptional circumstances, you may request IP block exemption. Approval is limited and based on specific criteria, and you should only request it if you have no other way to edit Wikipedia.

Note: These blocks are about the type of internet connection, not your actions. We appreciate good-faith contributors and want to help you get editing again.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use an open proxy's IP address:

If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page:

{{unblock|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}

. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of an open proxy provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not an open proxy provider.

Information for administrators:

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

Blocking administrator: KrakatoaKatie (talk • blocks)

Accept reason: I saw two open ports here, but not a proxy opening to wikipedia. Will unblock. Kuru (talk) 00:34, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The IP address named is of a host which I use as a personal (not open) proxy and also serves my web site. It is not to my knowledge an open proxy, HTTP or otherwise. Following the instructions on the message appearing on edit pages, I sent email to KrakatoaKatie on January 19, but have not received a reply. — Unbitwise (talk) 19:24, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Katie seems to be out of sorts for now; sorry about that. I'll run a scan tonight to test the proxy. Since your contribution history is solid, I'll enable the ipblockexempt flag on this account which should allow you to edit until I can run the scan. If this does come back as open, we will need to discuss other options, as you can't edit from there if it is. Kuru (talk) 19:32, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

see [[1], many proxy. Plese request a ipblockexempt flag--Shizhao (talk) 05:54, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Add interactive version of Google Doodle

Hello Unbitwise,

Is it possible to save interactive version of Google Doodle on this Wikipedia page for people to enjoy after?

Thanks, Boris — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.53.28.67 (talk) 14:51, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, It is not possible to store active content on Wikipedia, and there might also be copyright concerns. — Unbitwise (talk) 15:40, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cleko, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Spring and Nut (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:20, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
