| {{blocked proxy|indef=yes}} | These types of services are commonly used for abusive editing and circumventing Wikipedia policies, so Wikipedia blocks them as apreventive measure — even if you personally haven't done anything wrong. How to resolve this:
Note: These blocks are applied because of the configuration of your network or internet connection. They arenot applied as a result of your actions, nor are they applied in order to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. Wealways appreciate good-faith contributors to this project, and we want to help you with being able to edit Wikipedia again. How to appeal if you are confident that your network connection does not use an open proxy or VPN service: If you are confident that you are not connecting through an open proxy, web host, VPN service, or using Tor, you mayappeal this block by adding the following text on yourtalk 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 determinedhere. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use theunblock 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 are certain that your IP address is in fact not an open proxy provider.Information for administrators: Administrators: TheIP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using open proxies, web hosts, VPN services, or using Tor invery exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to grant the IP block exemption user right, aCheckUsermust take a look at the account first. This can be requested most easily atSPI Quick Checkuser Requests.Unblocking an IP or IP range with this templateis highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator. | ||
| {{blocked p2p proxy|ip=127.0.0.1 |isp=localhost |geo=New York, NY}} | If you are using any service that changes your IP address, such as a proxy or VPN service, you will need to disable it in order to edit Wikipedia. Once you have disabled it, it is possible that you will still see a message stating that you are blocked. You may want to clear your browser's cache and/or cookies and refresh the page, in order to check whether you are still blocked. If you are still seeing this message even after disabling your proxy or VPN, clearing your cache, and deleting all cookies for this website, then your IP address has been detected as a proxy and it has been blocked directly. Unlike legitimate commercialVPN services, these peer-to-peer proxy services exploit their own users' network connections to proxy traffic for other users. These services are frequently advertised as "residential VPNs" or "IP changers", and they are too numerous for us to list here. You will need to fully remove these tools from your network, and then either request to be unblocked, or wait for the block to expire. You mayappeal this block by adding the following text on yourtalk page:

| {{blocked VPNgate}} | Thisdoes not affect your ability to read Wikipedia. If you only want to read Wikipedia,simply close down this editing dialog. If you are using VPNgate, but you don't have to in order to access Wikipedia, please disable it if you would like to edit. Forabuse reasons, users are asked to use their real IP addresses when editing to ensure that sanctions cannot be evaded. If you disable VPNgate and create an account, your IP address will be hidden. If you are using VPNgate andhave to use it to access Wikipedia, due to government censorship or similar blocking, please use therequest an account process to be given an account that you can use for editing. If you are not using VPNgate, it is very possible that you or someone else using your network provider has donated their computer temporarily to VPNgate. You could try using a different device or rebooting your device to be assigned a newdynamic IP. Usually blocks for dynamic IPs that are briefly donated to VPNgate are short-term, so you could wait a few days, or submit a request to therequest an account process to be given an account for use with editing. Thank you for your understanding. Administrators: Do not unblock an IP or CIDR range that has this type of block applied. It has been 100% confirmed to be associated with VPNgate. Please direct users appealing throughWP:UTRS to use therequest an account process. If you arecertain there has been a mistake, please contactUser:MolecularPilot, the developer of the VPNgate blocking system. | ||
