Why does Wikipedia say my IP address is blocked?

A block is a measure used to protect Wikipedia from possible improper activity in breach of editorial policies. It prevents users from editing, renaming, creating, or otherwise contributing to pages on Wikipedia, either across Wikipedia or on certain pages.

What does it mean when your IP address is blocked?

IP Address blocking is a security measure that prevents a connection between a specific or group of IP addresses and a mail, web or Internet server. This is usually done to ban or block any undesirable sites and hosts from entering the server or node and causing harm to the network or individual computers.

How do I get unblocked from Wikipedia?

Requesting to be unblocked

The preferred way to appeal a block is to place unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~ on your talk page, which is only blocked if abused. If you cannot edit your talk page, you can appeal via the Unblock Ticket Request System.

What does it mean when your IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia Reddit?

The IP address that you are attempting to edit from has been blocked from editing because technical evidence shows that it is part of a peer-to-peer network of anonymous proxies. This means that users are tunneling their internet traffic through another person's device in order to hide their real IP address.

How long will my IP be blocked?

How long do IP bans usually last? A temporary IP ban can last anywhere between 7 and 30 days, while account bans are generally permanent.

How can someone block your IP?

There are essentially two methods you can choose from to hide your IP address. One is using a proxy server, and the other is using a virtual private network (VPN).

How long is a IP address ban?

Most IP addresses should not be blocked more than a few hours, since the malicious user will probably move on by the time the block expires. IP addresses should almost never be indefinitely blocked.

How do I remove my IP address from Wikipedia?

You may contact an oversighter to request suppression of your IP. Please note that this courtesy is not intended to allow registered editors to edit logged out to avoid scrutiny of their actions; it is intended only for accidental use of an IP rather than an account.

Does Wikipedia block VPN?

Technically, you can make a Wikipedia edit using a VPN, but Wikipedia may flag your account. Any sort of anonymizing proxy servers will send up red flags to Wikipedia that your account is not trustworthy. One example is when you try editing a Wikipedia article using the TOR browser.

How long do Wikipedia bans last?

The block length is usually based on how long you think the block needs to be in place to protect the encyclopedia. 31 hours is the standard duration for most blocks. Edit warring blocks (including WP:3RR) are usually 24 hours (some administrators prefer 31 hours).

Why is my IP address blocked from a specific website how do I fix it?

Wait it out

It's common for a website to block IP addresses temporarily. If you attempted to log in too many times with the wrong credentials, for example, you might be banned or blocked for 24 hours, after which you can try again. You can check the website's terms of use for information, or just wait a day.

How does Wikipedia know my IP address?

The operators of any website that you visit can see it. If you are not logged into Wikipedia, your IP address is publicly recorded with every edit that you make. If you are logged in, your IP address is hidden from all but a very small number of trusted administrators.

Why is my IP blacklisted for no reason?

Reasons for a blacklisted IP address

It's quite possible that you did nothing wrong. Some blacklists or blocklists automatically add any IP addresses assigned via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) from their Internet service provider (ISP).
