Unblock request declined

This blocked user has had their unblock request reviewed by one or more administrators, who has/have reviewed and declined this request.
Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason.
Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason: I was using a VPN to access this wiki and I'm guessing I was using an IP address that others have been abusive with. I can assure you that I am not one of those people. I use Proton VPN regularly. The IP address that I'm posting from now is my actual IP assigned by my ISP. Going forward, I will make a note to disable my VPN when accessing a Wikimedia wiki. I humbly request an unblock of my account.

Actually, after turning off the VPN, the IPv6 address that is listed on the ban block as an Open Proxy/Webhost is apparently an IP address used with Apple's iCloud Private Relay. Is there any way I can be unblocked without needing to disable iCloud Private Relay? I really hope so. I use Wikipedia daily as a consumer and occasional contributor and it would be very sad for me if I could no longer access and participate on the wiki :/

Decline reason: As you noticed, if you don't use a VPN you should be fine, this includes Apple's VPN. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:56, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
