Global IP block exempt for Telluride
- Global user: Telluride (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I'm from Iran and my ISP keeps blocking and unblocking international websites .I need to use a VPN for a stable connection to wikis. As my global account information shows, I'm active on multiple wikis. Thanks, --Telluride (talk) 09:36, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

- @荣智浩::请使用英文!并说明你需要使用Global IP Block Exemption的必要性。(Please use English! And explain the need for you to use Global IP Block Exemption.)--舞月書生(JoyeZhang)👉☎️👈 ♪My Heart Will Go On 16:17, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
你确认你遇到的是全域封禁吗?你在commoms上也遇到过这种现象吗?如果没有的话,我建议你在中文维基本地申请IP封禁豁免。另外你需要用英语解释你遇到的情况。—Techyan(Talk) 06:01, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- @荣智浩:Are you sure your IP address have been global block? Maybe provide your IP address to confirm will be better. --Streetdeck (Talk) 09:38, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for Horzagger
- Global user: Horzagger (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Hello, I am a nomad worker around the world and I very often connect on the Net with unsecured connections, then I prefer to use a VPN, and I use Tor in some regions of the world. I need to be allowed to connect with my VPN and with Tor on Wikipedia. (I have sign up on fr.wikipedia with my VPN, and I want to participate on several wikis of the Wikimedia Foundation). Thanks, --Horzagger (talk) 03:36, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Horzagger: All your edits are only to this cite? Ruslik (talk) 09:32, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Ruslik0: Hello, sorry I'm new on Wikipedia, and I can't edit because all the IP addresses I'm probably going to use are blocked on Wikipedia. --Horzagger (talk) 15:59, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for Partytemple
- Global user: Partytemple (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Hello, my IP was recently blocked after it showed up as a proxy on the API Checker. I am not using a proxy, though. The IP address is from the router I use. The source for the report on the API Checker is IP Quality Score, but the actual website IPQualityScore.com also says my IP is not a proxy. All other sources on the API Checker says I'm not a proxy. Why is there this discrepancy? I've been using this IP since the creation of my account, and other admins have used CheckUser on me before without problem. Can someone review my IP again, and perhaps add it as an exemption? Thanks. Partytemple (talk) 05:29, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Partytemple: Is the block that you are affected by local or global? Ruslik (talk) 17:26, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Ruslik0: Local as in only in one wiki? I just checked if I could edit on the French wiki, and I could. I guess it's only the English wiki? Partytemple (talk) 17:32, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- If it is a local block, you will need a local IP block exemption. Global exemption works only for global blocks. Ruslik (talk) 17:45, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for CoconutLord80
- Global user: CoconutLord80 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
<(Sorry for spelling errors) I use Cloudflare's DNS service 1.1.1.1 , as well as a VPN ocaionaly. I love editing Wikipedia and making it a better sight. My ISP's DNS is extremely slow so it is extremely hard for me to edit without 1.1.1.1. I need this exemption because otherwise, I will not be able to edit Wikipedia and make it better. I hope that you will understand my situation and help me. >, thanks, --~~~~
- You can use 1.1.1.1 DNS service without the VPN by selecting "1.1.1.1" and not "1.1.1.1 with WARP+" option in the settings of your 1.1.1.1 app. If your DNS is the only problem, you can simply use the 1.1.1.1 settings without the VPN. Is it sufficient or do you still need VPN after trying that options? — regards, Revi 01:11, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- (Even though your mobile OS will report you have connected to "VPN server", for simple 1.1.1.1 settings, it only routes DNS traffic to Cloudflare, and all other traffic doesn't route Cloudflare. WARP+ routes all traffic through Cloudflare.) — regards, Revi 01:12, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for Ilovu3000
- Global user: Ilovu3000 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
<Hello, I am using a VPN to allow me access to sites as I am a global traveller and the International Coordinator for a group which regularly runs Wiki-thons. Here is a link to a recent project https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit-a-thon_500WomenScientists. I am multilingual and edit in several languages. Please allow me a GIPBE so that I can upload my edits and continue on with a project with a local Wikipedia office for #100wikidays https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lokal_K/Edit-a-thon_Internationaler_Frauentag >, thanks, Ilovu3000
Global IP block exempt for VulpesVulpes825
- Global user: VulpesVulpes825 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
<Hi, I am currently located in China Mainland and cannot edit Wikipedia since VPN IP address is typically blocked. Since I edit in multiple wikimedia projects, it will be the best option for me to request a global IP block exempt permission rather than asking it on multiple projects>, thanks, --VulpesVulpes825 (talk) 07:19, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for Ruanlong
- Global user: Ruanlong (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

Global IP block exempt for Classy Melissa
- Global user: Classy Melissa (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I often need to use public Wi-Fis around for internet connection. Earlier today, on a public library's network, I saw something resembling an MITM attack[1], so I feel the need to get a VPN to bolster my security. Thanks, --Classy Melissa (talk) 12:15, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for Gereon K.
- Global user: Gereon K. (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I often take Flixbusses for long distance travel. Often the IP of Flixbusses is blocked. I am admin on de.wikipedia and can give myself the IP block exempt user right there. But for each other project I have to request for it indivudally. I often edit Commons, Wikidata, nl.wikipedia, Meta and other projects as well. Thank you very much in advance. --Gereon K. (talk) 13:32, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Gereon K.: On de-wiki, as admin, you should have no problems with IP blocks, as this right is included in your adminrights, see en:Special:ListGroupRights (Bypass IP blocks, auto-blocks and range blocks (ipblock-exempt)) or de:Spezial:Gruppenrechte (Ausnahme von IP-Sperren, automatischen Sperren und Rangesperren (ipblock-exempt)). Of course this doesn't help on other projects. --Der-Wir-Ing ("DWI") talk 14:18, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Der-Wir-Ing: Strangely enough "IP-Sperren-Ausgenommener" is optional on de.wp, even for Admins: [2]. --Gereon K. (talk) 15:11, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
