Unblock request

Since yesterday, I cannot edit anything. The message says "Your IP address is in a range that has been blocked on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis.

The block was made by ‪Martin Urbanec‬. The reason given is No open proxies: please read the FAQ should you be affected.

• Start of block: 20:28, 13 January 2021
• Expiry of block: 20:28, 13 January 2024

Your current IP address is 163.116.169.120. The blocked range is 163.116.169.0/24.

What I don't understand is why this block, that supposedly started in 2021, is only starting to affect me now, because I have been frequently editing Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects from this computer without a glitch up until last week.

This IP Address is registered and managed by a hosting company. Thus, your block might be due to some settings like VPN or Apple iCloud Private Relay. If so, please try turning it off when editing Wikipedia: VPNs and other proxy/webhost addresses are blocked per No open proxies. You could also read en:Wikipedia:IP_block_exemption and apply for a local block exemption on your home wiki.--M/ (talk) 14:50, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Please note that your username is not blocked on any wikipedia project, and my own "decline" is a formal answer that is intended to help you to better understand this problem. Thank you for your consideration. --M/ (talk) 14:49, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
