IP range block

 * Another caveat; you're going to need to reveal what IP you want an exception to be made for. The links for "show active blocks" and "show autoblocks" show nothing. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 21:16, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not listed? That's odd. I really don't know then. I'm know my VPN has servers in several countries, and I'm pretty sure they use dynamic IPs, but if there's no block entry on here listing all of their IP ranges, then it's going to impractical to do anything about it. In that case, do you have any idea how I could exclude a specific program from going through a VPN (openVPN, if it matters)? I've tried Googling, but the few methods I've found are either extremely convoluted (running each app in its own VM) or require network configuration changes (not an option for public wifi). Suppose I could get used to editing over 3G...editing on iOS is a pain though. :-/ -Mojace (talk) 21:43, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * What message do you get when you try to edit? According to the autoblock docs, it should indicate what IP is being autoblocked]]. OhNo itsJamie Talk 22:12, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It lists a specific block for 5.63.147.100 and a general block on the range 5.63.144.0/21, both of them incorrectly listed as open proxies. Also, since reconnecting to the VPN a few minutes ago (and likely being assigned a new IP), I find I'm no longer able to edit even my own talk page, which is not only bloody ridiculous (I had to type this on my phone - BTW, your mobile editing interface is utterly broken), but suggests that the blocking was done in an at least somewhat haphazard way. -Mojace (talk) 23:01, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Everything seems to be fine working now. Thank you. :-)
 * Glad I was able to help. Apologies for being a little suspicious initially. We get a lot of "tall tales" from "new" users, but in hindsight your initial request was reasonable and should have been granted more quickly.  Cheers, OhNo itsJamie  Talk 02:12, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
