== {unblock|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 87.18.111.122. 87.18.111.122 (talk) 21:53, 23 October 2021 (UTC)} ==

I inadvertently was editing while having a vpn ip on. This flagged me as blocked user. I got off the vpn ip, and i was still blocked, so i restarted my router (which gave me a new ip address) and i am still blocked. I didn't know there was a procedure to follow for unblocking, i simply kept my request to unblock brief and simple stating i use a legitimate ip, as you can easily check.

I received a message telling me to follow the instruction appearing on screen when i try to edit. I think i did. I don't know if i did it correctly.

Regards.


 * What message are you currently seeing when you try to edit? No block or rangeblock is showing up on this IP. Daniel Case (talk) 02:02, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, i'm seeing this message You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:

Stop hand nuvola.svg You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia due to a block affecting this IP address. This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.

Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. See below if you do not believe you have done anything wrong. Editing from 156.146.58.0/23 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

Banned proxys.svgThe IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy, such as a VPN service. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you are using an open proxy or VPN service you will need to turn it off to edit Wikipedia.

If you believe you are not using an anonymizing proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer using your IP address who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. 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 an open proxy. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. 87.18.111.122 (talk) 09:00, 24 October 2021 (UTC)}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined using whatismyip.com. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system.

More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software (such as a virus). For more information, see the WikiProject on Open Proxies.

Proxy blocks
Once again, you need to wait a full 24 hours after disabling your proxy/vpn. You have not yet done so. --Yamla (talk) 10:18, 24 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I did in fact read about the time limit before being reinstated in fullness, i just didn't know if my request was properly forwarded, which was what we were discussing with other users as well. Thanks for confirming that it was. I'll wait for it to expire. Also, i'd like for the vpn ip address block to be better publicized in the help pages, since as a new user i wasn't aware there was such a block.
