Re:[edit]

This block is not aimed at blocking you but the connection you are using to reach Wikipedia, in accordance with a policy.
This may happen in a series of circumstances:

you're using an anonymization service, if you truly need to use them (for example you live in a Country which blocks access to Wikipedia) you should ask for an exempt for your account;
you're using a VPN, if it's your personal and private (only you or a very few people can use it) please refer to the previous case;
you're editing from an organization (company, library, etc.) which uses a leased server as a gateway: if so you should write at SRG specifying whether you need to go through a captive portal to login from a public place.

If none of the above applies to you there may be a malware affecting your device. You can try testing with a different device or running some antivirus/antimalware software.
In any case please specify how do you connect to the Internet (mobile, shared connection in a library, xDSL, etc.).

May 2018[edit]

Hello. Regarding this question, as part of protecting Wikimedia projects from anonymous vandalism, at times we are forced to block ranges of IP addresses. Due to the dynamic nature of IP addressing, these blocks may sometimes affect innocent users as well. The global block is not directed at you personally, and the reason why you cannot edit is that your IP, or the range in which your IP falls, was previously used by someone to vandalize a Wikimedia project or projects and was blocked to protect that project or projects.

Please contact the local administrators of your project and ask whether or not you are eligible for the 'ipblock-exempt' group. If they assign you to that group, please log back in to your account and check if you can edit afterwards. If you still cannot edit, please get back to us so we can investigate further.

Please see also Global blocks/FAQ for more information. Green Giant (talk) 19:57, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re:[edit]

You still seem to be using a VPN, are you? --Vituzzu (talk) 22:06, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I haven't been around for a while. Please ask for a global IPBE. I suspect you're using some McAfee or similar product acting as a VPN but until you'll find out what is wrong with your connection SRIPBE will help you. Best, --Vituzzu (talk) 11:05, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
