Request reason:

I have my own consulting company (www.hightouchengagement.com). Due to security sensitivities concerning one of my clients, I am required to use a VPN (ProtonVPN) when logged into my email via the company mail server. This requirement only went into effect this past week, so I am still learning the ins and outs of it. Unfortunately, I did not remember that I must manually disconnect, so when I went onto Wikipedia after doing work on the client mail server, the VPN was still on. My current and actual IP address should now be visible. Please accept my apologies and I hope that I can have my account unblocked.

Decline reason:

We can't actually see your IP address, so I can't check any blocks on it. But after hitting a block like this, once you disable your VPN it can take up to 24 hours for your account to be freed up again. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:45, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Clay Doherty. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Mori Taheripour, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;

• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
