Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 66.25.69.185. I switch sometimes between a VPN and my "real" IP, and forget which one I'm using, but the block message doesn't mention my actual IP address at all, so this is weird to me. See text of block message below. Please note how it mentions "149.40.56.0/22" as the blocked IP range, which has nothing to do with me. Maybe the bot sees the real and VPN IP's and decides they are the same? Tied to a 3rd range? No clue.

\" This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia. This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages. Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong. The IP address or range 149.40.56.0/22 has been blocked by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):"66.25.69.185 (talk) 23:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

When you turn your VPN off, you need to also clear your browser cache, otherwise Wikipedia "thinks" your VPN is still on. Once you clear you cache, it can take up to 24 hours for the block to clear your system. That should permit you to edit. 331dot (talk) 07:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This is the discussion page for an anonymous user who has not created an account yet, or who does not use it. We therefore have to use the numerical IP address to identify them. Such an IP address can be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user and feel that irrelevant comments have been directed at you, please create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users.
