Block inquiry for recurring IP issues
I've encountered a recurring issue where I'm temporarily blocked from editing due to suspected use of an open proxy or VPN. However, I don't use any such tools, and I suspect the issue might stem from dynamic IP allocation by my ISP.
The blocks usually resolve after some time, usually between a few minutes and a few hours, but they've been happening more frequently, which disrupts my ability to edit and contribute. Could you help me understand the reason behind these blocks or suggest a way to prevent this from happening often? ZyphorianNexus (talk) 20:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- @ZyphorianNexus it depends a lot on your ISP I think and how they allocate traffic/addresses. Sometimes multiple people are routed through one addresses or a small range which looks like a proxy, or sometimes proxies/VPNs come and go but if the IP has been reported as a proxy in the past it still looks suspicious years later. If you're asking because you're seeing blicks I've made, most of my IP hard blocks are aimed at spammers; sometimes SEO firms use dozens of accounts on a range to spread spam links so I block the range so that any undetected accounts can't continue spamming. If you're having frequent problems, I can look at granting you IP block exemption, which would allow you to edit through hard blocks. I'd have to look in more detail including running a check on your account but if everything is as you say it is it should be straightforward.
