Request reason:
Decline reason:
I sympathise with you over your problem, but I very much doubt that any administrator will unblock you under the circumstances. As you may realise, the problem with editing Wikipedia from a VPN is that VPNs can be used (and often are) to hide one's true IP address for illegitimate purposes, such as evading blocks. I don't think there is any chance at all of the VPN IP address being unblocked, because not only would we would have no way of being sure whether you were doing that, but even if we were confident that you could be trusted, we would have no way of knowing that other people weren't using it for unacceptable purposes. Editors can be given IP block exemption, but only if there are really compelling reasons why they have to edit from a blocked IP address, and not knowing how to configure your VPN to exclude Wikipedia is not the kind of compelling reason that would be accepted. Unfortunately, the best I can offer is to hope you will be able to find out how to bypass the VPN very soon. The editor who uses the pseudonym " JamesBWatson" ( talk) 11:52, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
