Open proxies
|
Let's figure it out!
Some antivirus software, browsers, or devices provide an embedded VPN or proxy service.
Open proxies can be used to bypass our anti-abuse mechanisms, so we do not allow editing through open proxies.
Verify your software:
- Open your antivirus software, and check if there are any options such as "anonymization", "VPN", or similar
- If there is, please disable it, or exempt the following websites:
*.wikimedia.org, *.wikipedia.org, *.wiktionary.org, *.wikiquote.org, *.wikinews.org, *.wikisource.org, *.wikibooks.org, *.wikiversity.org, *.wikivoyage.org
- If you use an Apple device, it is possible you have iCloud Private Relay turned on.
- Some browsers include an embedded VPN, which you will need to disable to edit Wikimedia projects. Options are generally present near the navigation bar or in settings.
