Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 91.207.175.250. I've been contributing to Wikipedia for 14 years without issue. I believe I should be allowed to continue contributing while protecting my privacy. I live in the US and using a VPN is a legitimate precaution in the current political climate.

Decline reason:

I'm sorry, but you will have to turn off your VPN if you want to edit Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 20:49, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
