• Template reasons (open proxies)

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy, such as a VPN service. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Test Wiki.

If you are using an open proxy or VPN service, you will need to disable it or log in to an existing account in order to edit Test Wiki.

If you believe you are not using an anonymizing proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer using your IP address who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. You may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: I am not using a proxy, or I have a valid reason to use one. My IP address is (your IP address). I should be unblocked because (Your reason here). Your IP address can be determined using whatismyip.com. Alternatively, you can email staff@testwiki.wiki to keep your IP address private.

To edit, please log in. The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. Editing by unregistered users from web hosts and colocation providers may be temporarily disabled due to abuse. However, you are still able to edit if you sign in with an account. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, you may request an account. Please reference this block in the comment section of the form. Administrators: Do not use this template for hardblocks.

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Test Wiki.

You will not be able to edit Test Wiki using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.

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 appeal this block by adding the following text on your 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 here. 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.
