If you are using any service that changes your IP address, such as a proxy or VPN service, you will need to disable it in order to edit Wikipedia. Once you have disabled it, it is possible that you will still see a message stating that you are blocked. You may want to clear your browser's cache and/or cookies and refresh the page, in order to check whether you are still blocked.
 
If you are still seeing this message even after disabling your proxy or VPN, clearing your cache, and deleting all cookies for this website, then your home IP address has been detected as a proxy and it has been blocked directly. Unlike legitimate commercial [[VPN]] services, these peer-to-peer proxy services exploit their own users' network connections to proxy traffic for other users. These services are frequently advertised as "residential VPNs" or "IP changers", and they are too numerous for us to list here. You will need to fully remove these tools from your network, and then either request to be unblocked, or wait for the block to expire.
{{#if:{{{ip|}}}|{{br}}To help you identify whether this block is targeted at your home network, we have included the following information about the IP address or network targeted by this block. {{#if:{{{ip|}}}|IP address: {{{ip}}}.}} {{#if:{{{isp|}}}|Internet Service Provider: {{{isp}}}.}} {{#if:{{{geo|}}}|Approximate location: {{{geo}}}.}}

If you have not recently used any proxy, VPN, or IP changing service, it is possibly that a previous customer who was assigned your IP address was running one of these services. More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by [[malware|malicious software (such as a virus)]]. For more information, see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies|WikiProject on Open Proxies]].
