To edit from this account even if using a hardblocked IP, you need to request IP Block Exemption. Have a read through that page then fill out a request using the Unblock Ticket Request System using this account. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:08, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

OK thanks, will do. UTRS seems to be unavailable at this time though, hope it will be back soon. Yvesk (talk) 15:12, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * You should be able to edit through the IPv6 address. The 2001:41D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/44 range is blocked for anonymous editing only, while logged-in editing is allowed (see the block log).  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:08, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * My Mac Pro at work has multiple IPs on the local network, which kept confusing other machines which couldn't find services running on the other IP - to the extent I gave up and just put a static IPv4 address on everything. I wonder if that's a related problem here? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:22, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * My VPN server currently only supports IPv4 connectivity. I'll look into IPv6 support but it would be dangerous to only rely on IPv6. I opened a ticket on the UTRS. Yvesk (talk) 13:20, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

 * The reason given in the automatic response to unblock appeal #16835 was that my IP address is a "webhosting service"; it is not a "web host". It is my own dedicated server, and no anonymising service, including Tor relay, is installed on it. I can prove it any way you would like. I am the sole user of this whole machine and bought it so that I can have my privacy wherever I go. Hindering this usage (basically net neutrality) is really not what I was expecting from Wikipedia. Is there any way I can defend my case or is this a final decision? This would be very frustrating… Yvesk (talk) 17:35, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * If you feel the last appeal was misunderstood, you may try again. It isn't a final decision. ~Amatulić (talk) 01:01, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Upon review of WP:IPBE and consideration of your situation, as well as your limited contribution history, I have decided to extend good faith to you that you will not abuse the block exemption, and granted it. ~Amatulić (talk) 01:07, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! Yvesk (talk) 09:34, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

IPBE expiring - March 2019
Hello Yvesk, I'm working on some routine cleanup and see you have not made use of the ip block exemption flag on your account for over a year. This will be removed in about a week, unless you reply below that you still have a need for this flag. This will have no impact on your ability to read Wikipedia. Best regards, — xaosflux  Talk 12:49, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello Xaosflux.
 * The main reason why I haven't been contributing is because I mostly use my newer IPv6 range which is 2001:bc8:3285::1/48. While I still own the previous one (2001:41d0:e:fa1::/64), I'm OK with you removing the exemption on it, but I would very much appreciate that you transfer it to 2001:bc8:3285::1/48.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi Yvesk, thanks for the note, this will be maintained for you. If you become inactive for a long time again (generally a year) we may check in again.  Best regards, —  xaosflux  Talk 20:52, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
