Request reason:
Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 181.67.43.192. I do not regularly use any VPN programs or services. Yesterday, another website unrelated to Wikipedia was giving me issues, so I opened Opera GX and used its VPN feature to see if it fixed it. However, I believe this shouldn't have triggered this block as I had not accessed Wikipedia during the time the VPN was running, and I do not normally use Opera GX. If there are any further things you need to know, please let me know. Angel808s (talk) 06:34, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
It's still possible that cookies caused Wikipedia to detect your VPN. You will need to clear your browser cache and wait 24 hours for the block to clear. 331dot (talk) 08:06, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
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.
