Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. This is my place of work, along with several hundred other employees. Daedalus2097 (talk) 14:32, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. You forgot to tell us your IP address so we can't verify your claim. You can use WhatIsMyIP to find your IP address. If you don't wish to provide this publicly, you may use WP:UTRS. Yamla (talk) 15:03, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Sorry, my public IP is currently 62.255.248.26 Daedalus2097 (talk) 13:03, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

That IP address is not blocked. If you are unable to edit, please exactly follow the instructions which appear when you attempt to do so. Yamla (talk) 13:48, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

When I try to edit any page (other than here), I get the message: "Editing from 165.225.80.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by KrakatoaKatie for the following reason(s): The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia." My IP address has changed since my first attempt, however it's still caught in a range of blocked addresses, and other than the IP address, it's the exact same message with the same block expiry (21:17, 25 July 2018). There are no instructions given other than to turn off any proxies I use, which I do not. Daedalus2097 (talk) 11:41, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

That IP address range belongs to zscaler, a "cloud security" provider which functions as an open proxy, performing a man in the middle attack. You'll need to disable this if you wish to edit. Note that doing so may impact the security of your computer. Yamla (talk) 12:24, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
