Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 159.224.236.59. Place any further information here. Romanshein (talk) 04:00, 25 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

That IP address appears to be running Ssh. Therefore, it looks like this is indeed serving as a proxy. The IP address belongs to triolan.net and appears to be a hosting solution rather than a direct ISP. Please note that I'm substantially less certain on this than I am when I normally investigate IP addresses so if you believe I'm mistaken, if you can explain why port 22 is open and can explain that this is a direct Internet connection and not a hosting company, please open a new unblock request.

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.

That IP address certainly was hosting an open proxy within the last few weeks, but I can find no evidence that it still is doing so, so I am inclined to unlock. However, I prefer to allow some more time, in case someone does find evidence of an open proxy, as sometimes proxies switch on and off. I'm afraid that is likely to mean you will have to wait a while before you can edit, but I hope it can be sorted out soon. If you get no further response to your request within 48 hours, please call my attention by adding "@JamesBWatson: JamesBWatson (talk) 10:33, 25 July 2019 (UTC)" at the bottom of this page and I will reconsider it.
