If you are using an open proxy or VPN service, you will need to disable it or turn it off in order to edit Meta WikiOasis.

If you believe you are not using an anonymizing proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer using your {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{host|}}}|host|IP address}} who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. You may [[WikiOasis:Guide to appealing blocks|appeal this block]] by adding the following text on your [[w:Help:Talk pages|talk page]]: {{tlx|unblock|2=reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is _______. ''Place any further information here.'' &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;}}. '''You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated.''' Your IP address can be determined <span class="plainlinks">'''[https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Get_my_IP_address?withJS=MediaWiki:Get-my-ip.js here]'''</span>. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can contact any active Administrator.

More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software (such as a virus). For more information, see the [[:w:No open proxies policy|No open proxies policy]].
