Hi Ben, I’m not an admin so I can’t see exactly what happened, but from what I understand blocks can resolve a few hours after a VPN is disabled – how long ago did you remove it? [[User:Blue-Sonnet|Blue Sonnet]] ([[User talk:Blue-Sonnet|talk]]) 19:02, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the tip! I will use it. I was editing with a poor wifi connection and I was getting stuck on screens and had to close the app and restart and go back. That doesn’t usually happen. StarksBen (talk) 05:48, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

StarksBen (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))


Request reason:

I recently changed phones in November and was apparently set up with VPN for all internet connections. I was auto blocked because a link(s) that I posted had VPN information which was not appropriate. I have since changed my settings to remove VPN from All Wikipedia apps and sites.

Notes:

  • In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
  • Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing “blocking administrator” with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I recently changed phones in November and was apparently set up with VPN for all internet connections. I was auto blocked because a link(s) that I posted had VPN information which was not appropriate. I have since changed my settings to remove VPN from All Wikipedia apps and sites. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I recently changed phones in November and was apparently set up with VPN for all internet connections. I was auto blocked because a link(s) that I posted had VPN information which was not appropriate. I have since changed my settings to remove VPN from All Wikipedia apps and sites. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I recently changed phones in November and was apparently set up with VPN for all internet connections. I was auto blocked because a link(s) that I posted had VPN information which was not appropriate. I have since changed my settings to remove VPN from All Wikipedia apps and sites. |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}
