This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages. The IP address or range 127.0.0.1 has been blocked by $1 for the following reason(s): These types of services are commonly used for abusive editing and circumventing Wikipedia policies, so Wikipedia blocks them as a preventive measure — even if you personally haven't done anything wrong. How to fix it:
Note: These blocks are about the type of internet connection, not your actions. We appreciate good-faith contributors and want to help you get editing again. How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator. This block will expire on $6. Your current IP address is $3.

* '''Try a different network connection.''' Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or use a home network instead of a public or work connection.
* '''Whitelist Wikipedia.''' You may be able to whitelist Wikipedia from your VPN service so that connections to Wikipedia aren't tunneled through the VPN. Instructions for whitelisting Wikipedia on iCloud Private Relay can be found '''[https://support.apple.com/en-us/102022#website here]'''.
* '''Still blocked?''' If you believe that you are not running an anonymizing proxy or Tor, you should consider checking your network configuration to verify that this is actually the case. Network configurations can be changed without your knowledge, sometimes due to malware. In truly exceptional circumstances, you may request [[Wikipedia:IP_block_exemption#Requesting_and_granting_exemption|IP block exemption]]. Approval is limited and based on specific criteria, and you should only request it if you have ''no other way'' to edit Wikipedia.

Note: These blocks are applied because of the configuration of your network or internet connection. They are not applied as a result of your actions, nor are they applied in order to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. We always appreciate good-faith contributors to this project, and we want to help you with being able to edit Wikipedia again. How to appeal if you are confident that your network connection does not use an open proxy or VPN service:
If you are confident that you are not connecting through an open proxy, web host, VPN service, or using Tor, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of an open proxy provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you are certain that your IP address is in fact not an open proxy provider.Information for administrators:
Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using open proxies, web hosts, VPN services, or using Tor in very exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to grant the IP block exemption user right, a CheckUser must take a look at the account first. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator. This block will expire on $6. Your current IP address is $3. Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page. For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals.

As on many websites, Wikipedia administrators occasionally [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|block]] accounts and IP ranges that are deemed responsible for or related to problematic activity. You may be an innocent victim of [[collateral damage]], whereby a block of some other activity has accidentally caused your account to be unable to edit pages. If your editing access has been blocked by mistake, it will be reactivated very quickly, as soon as you let an administrator know of the problem. The box above gives the information you will need.
;What is a block?
:A [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|block]] is a measure used to protect Wikipedia from possible improper use, or modification in breach of [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|editorial policies]]. Once a block has expired, they become history unless problems reoccur. Blocks can be applied to a user account, an IP address, or a [[Subnetwork|range of IP addresses]]. [[Wikipedia:Autoblock|A number of automated features]] identify unblocked usage which apparently should be blocked; these are known as ''autoblocks'' and can be quickly rectified if incorrect.
;Most common causes of an autoblock:
:The typical cause of an autoblock is because your IP address or network is either the same one used by another blocked account, or [[Wikipedia:Autoblock|the software believes]] your account or IP address is connected to ''another'' blocked account. Due to the nature of some [[Internet service provider]]s, automatic blocks may inadvertently affect people other than the person who the block was intended for.

Unblock request
If you are unjustly affected by this block, please copy the following text and paste it to the bottom of your user talk page:
{{unblock-auto|2=<nowiki>$2</nowiki>|3=$1|4=$5}}
Once you have followed the instructions above, an administrator will be alerted to your unblock request, and will respond shortly in order to review the block.
If this is a problem that affects you repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department, and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers. This will reduce the chances of you being affected by future automatic blocks.
Alternative option
You will usually receive a faster response by posting the {{unblock-auto|2=<nowiki>$2</nowiki>|3=$1|4=$5}} template onto your user talk page, as described in the instructions above. If you need help, however, you can submit a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System by clicking on "submit an unblock request" below. Make sure to include the block ID number shown in the box above.

Even though requests sent to the Unblock Ticket Request System are viewable only by administrators and trusted volunteers, under no circumstances should you send anyone your account's password, or reveal it to anyone else—even if you're asked to do so.
This system exists for the purpose of reviewing blocks only—any request to make edits to articles on your behalf will be disregarded. Correspondence containing legal threats, personal attacks or rudeness are likely to be ignored and may result in having your current block extended.

You will usually receive a faster response by posting the {{unblock-auto|2=<nowiki>$2</nowiki>|3=$1|4=$5}} template onto your user talk page, as described in the instructions above. If you need help, however, you can submit a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System by clicking on "submit an unblock request" below. Make sure to include the block ID number shown in the box above.

Even though requests sent to the Unblock Ticket Request System are viewable only by administrators and trusted volunteers, under no circumstances should you send anyone your account's password, or reveal it to anyone else—even if you're asked to do so.
This system exists for the purpose of reviewing blocks only—any request to make edits to articles on your behalf will be disregarded. Correspondence containing legal threats, personal attacks or rudeness are likely to be ignored and may result in having your current block extended.
