Banned proxys.svg
The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy, such as a VPN service. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Uncyclopedia. If you are logged in, you should still be able to edit Uncyclopedia as if this proxy wasn't blocked.
If you are using an open proxy or VPN service you will need to turn it off or request an account to edit Uncyclopedia.

If you believe you are not using an anonymizing proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer using your IP address who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. You may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|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. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined using whatismyip.com. If you prefer, you can request an account via Discord or IRC.

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 Wikipedia's WikiProject on Open Proxies.
