Since the webhost part of your ISP's server acts like a [[Wikipedia:Open proxies|proxy]], because it hides your IP address, it has been blocked. To prevent abuse, [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Open or anonymous proxies|these IPs may be blocked]] from editing Wikipedia.

This can be requested most easily at [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations#Quick_Checkuser_requests|SPI Quick Checkuser Requests]]. '''Unblocking''' an IP or IP range with this template '''is highly unrecommended''' without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit.''' For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Test Wiki. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you have a Test Wiki account, please log in.
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Appealing a block|appeal this block]] by adding the following text on your [[Wikipedia:Help:Talk pages|talk page]]: I was caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. ''Place any further information here.'' '''You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated.''' Your IP address can be determined <span class="plainlinks">'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Get_my_IP_address?withJS=MediaWiki:Get-my-ip.js here]'''</span>. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can email Test Wiki staff at staff@testwiki.wiki. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.<includeonly>{{#if:{{{nocat|}}}||
