Open proxies
Let's figure it out!

Some antivirus software, browsers, or devices provide an embedded VPN or proxy service.

Open proxies can be used to bypass our anti-abuse mechanisms, so we do not allow editing through open proxies.

Verify your software:
Open your antivirus software, and check if there are any options such as "anonymization", "VPN", or similar
If there is, please disable it, or exempt the following websites:
*.wikimedia.org, *.wikipedia.org, *.wiktionary.org, *.wikiquote.org, *.wikinews.org, *.wikisource.org, *.wikibooks.org, *.wikiversity.org, *.wikivoyage.org
If you use an Apple device, it is possible you have iCloud Private Relay turned on.
Some browsers include an embedded VPN, which you will need to disable to edit Wikimedia projects. Options are generally present near the navigation bar or in settings.
