Reason: FortiClient VPN hit with mostly non-constructive editing. kline / talk / contribs 01:24, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

 Completed. A static IP, likely a business, using Fortinet security products with a FortiClient VPN gateway. Requires administrator authorisation and authentication thus a closed proxy. Soft blocked. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:33, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

I think the wider range needs to be blocked, many TAs are using the IP range including an LTA. Traumnovelle (talk) 19:59, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

@Traumnovelle. Why do you think this is a proxy? — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:28, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Reason: Requested unblock. Can the proxy block be adjusted so that it does not include this IP: 97.74.104.15. I am running an edit-a-thon at an academic conference that uses that IP for wifi (for conference goers).

Conference runs today through end of day Saturday. Thank you

@Matthewvetter. I have unblocked locally on en.wiki (it can be reblocked later) but it is also globally blocked and you will need to get in touch with Jon Kolbert or to contact stewards or request an unblock at Steward_requests/Global#Requests_for_global_(un)block. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:29, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

@Matthewvetter. Are you able to edit now? — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:20, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Malcolmxl5, yes sorry for the delay. I was on site today and had no issues. Matthewvetter (talk) 23:37, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

That's good. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:43, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

 Completed. Temporarily unblocked for the duration of the edit-a-thon at the academic conference. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:40, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Reason: Requested unblock. ~2026-15467-91 (talk) 09:23, 11 March 2026 (UTC) I need to use it

8.8.8.8 is not blocked here on English Wikipedia. Given your location, it is probably restricted by the authorities in your country. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:05, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

 Completed. Can’t help with this one. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:32, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
