Request for IP block exemtion

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Fantasticfears (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Request for IP block exemption. I'm a Chinese wikipedian. Direct connection may be affected by GFW, so I usually access wikimedia projects by proxy. --Fantasticfears (talk) 05:03, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=Request for IP block exemption. I'm a Chinese wikipedian. Direct connection may be affected by GFW, so I usually access wikimedia projects by proxy. --[[User:Fantasticfears|Fantasticfears]] ([[User talk:Fantasticfears#top|talk]]) 05:03, 13 September 2013 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=Request for IP block exemption. I'm a Chinese wikipedian. Direct connection may be affected by GFW, so I usually access wikimedia projects by proxy. --[[User:Fantasticfears|Fantasticfears]] ([[User talk:Fantasticfears#top|talk]]) 05:03, 13 September 2013 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=Request for IP block exemption. I'm a Chinese wikipedian. Direct connection may be affected by GFW, so I usually access wikimedia projects by proxy. --[[User:Fantasticfears|Fantasticfears]] ([[User talk:Fantasticfears#top|talk]]) 05:03, 13 September 2013 (UTC) |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

We need a lot more information before granting an IP block exemption. What is the block message you are recieving when you try to edit? Also, given the infrequent editing by this account, I am still not sure I would grant an IP block exemption. Singularity42 (talk) 15:50, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Block message: Editing from 198.199.64.0/18 has been blocked (disabled) by LFaraone. The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because the IP range you are editing from is a web host provider. I own a DigitalOcean VPS for proxy and this IP is blocked unfortunately. Please check this SUL info. I'm a patroller and rollbacker in zhwiki_p. I hope that would prove some point.--Fantasticfears (talk) 18:37, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay in replying. Can you read through WP:IPEXEMPTCONDITIONS and confirm you agree with all of the conditions? Singularity42 (talk) 17:06, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am not eligible for this condition. Nonetheless, I have to clarify my purpose for applying. Currently, I visit all wikimedia projects by a commercial proxy(subscribe) or my own private proxy(Digital Ocean VPS). If not so, I may be disrupted by PRC Great Firewall of China, not enwiki_p local IP block. That's why I want to apply for exemption. Thanks for your patience.--Fantasticfears (talk) 13:17, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the confusion. I understand that you have to edit from a proxy to edit from China. What I meant was whether you understood and agreed with the remainder of the conditions. Singularity42 (talk) 13:23, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree.--Fantasticfears (talk) 15:00, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
