ProyekWiki pada proksi terbuka/Bantuan:diblokir
Halaman ini merupakan bagian dari ProyekWiki pada proksi terbuka, dan ditujukan sebagai sumber informasi bagi pengguna yang mendapati dirinya terblokir sebagai proksi terbuka.
Penjelasan tentang proksi terbuka
Setiap komputer yang terhubung ke Internet memiliki alamat IP numerik unik yang diberikan kepadanya. Komputer juga dapat terhubung secara tidak langsung ke internet melalui komputer lain; sebuah jaringan komputer yang memungkinkan komputer lain untuk terhubung melaluinya disebut peladen proksi. Peladen proksi semacam itu bisa sangat berguna, tetapi biasanya dilindungi sehingga hanya pengguna resmi yang dapat menggunakannya. Namun, sebuah proksi terbuka adalah proksi yang dapat digunakan siapa saja secara bebas, baik karena rancangannya maupun karena kerentanan keamanan. Celah keamanan seperti itu sering kali ada tanpa sepengetahuan pemiliknya, seperti pada kasus banyak peladen ISP yang dikonfigurasi dengan buruk.
Alasan pemblokiran
Because every computer is assigned a unique IP address, an effective method to stop a user who is abusing their editing privileges on Wikipedia is to block that address from editing. A problem arises with vandals who can change their IP address at will. Open proxies allow this, since connecting through them allows users to edit using that address instead of their own; blocks against that new address can be evaded by switching to another address, and so forth. Automated scripts capable of doing this are especially disruptive.
For this reason, open proxies may be blocked from editing Wikimedia projects for any length of time.
Memperbaiki masalah
Note: Many Internet service providers rotate customers through IP addresses, so it's entirely possible that you've been temporarily rotated to a blocked proxy. In that case, you should be able to edit again within a few hours or after reconnecting.
If you would like to edit Wikipedia, you can contact your Internet service provider to notify them that their proxy is open. Open proxies will be unblocked as soon as they are found to be closed. Due to the huge number of open proxies, these messages are not regularly sent out.
You may also want to ensure that your computer has not been compromised by malware which has turned your computer into an open proxy without your knowledge. Looking up your IP address on a "DNS Blacklist" such as the Exploits Block List at Spamhaus may be able to tell you what your computer or network has been compromised by.
Menyunting meskipun faktanya
If you are knowingly using an open proxy to protect your identity, please note that your IP address is hidden when you register a username, and only a select few administrators and developers can check your IP address. Registering an account protects your identity without compromising your ability to edit Wikipedia.
If you are using an open proxy to circumvent a firewall, such as the national Chinese censor, please see Wikipedia:Advice to Tor users in China for a possible solution.
Opsi banding
If your IP is globally blocked as a proxy and suspect that you are not editing from an open proxy, or that you need an exemption, you can send an appeal to stewards.
