Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 190.61.36.93. This is a standard IPv4 address allocated by my ISP. Guiding Knight (talk) 14:27, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I think I fixed it. You should be able to edit now. If not, make another unblock request, or let me know. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:51, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @NinjaRobotPirate that's fixed it.

Unblock request[edit]

Thanks, we're moving house soon so will get a new IP address anyway. Hopefully it won't have the same problem.

Request reason:

My IP address is 200.229.144.107 this is the DHCP address assigned recently via my ISP. I don't run any proxies or open VPNs. Thanks. Guiding Knight (talk) 21:30, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I gave you IP block exemption for a month. That should fix it in the short term, but you should do the following:

Make sure your operating system is up to date by running any relevant software update manager
Check your system for malware, perhaps by using one of the tools listed in comparison of antivirus software
Disable any privacy-enhancing apps or options in your software while editing English Wikipedia

The first two are so your PC or smartphone never becomes compromised and placed on blacklists, which are one possibility for why your IP address was blocked. Unfortunately, other customers on your ISP can also be responsible for this. The last one is more or less mandatory if you want to edit English Wikipedia. This is because your edits typically get routed through a VPN service if you tell software to enhance your privacy, and we block VPN services. They're often used by vandals to get past our defenses.
