The note below my unblock application directed me to the auto unblock function. I am unsure if I understand the procedure correctly, but I have removed my previous unblock request and replaced it with an unblock auto request. I have put the IP address in the error message down, although when I Google my IP address, it is not the same as the one given by Wikipedia. Maybe it is the IP address of my service provider?

Block message:
Editing from 196.46.71.251 has been blocked (disabled) by ProcseeBot for the following reason(s): The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you believe you are not running an open proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer from your ISP who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. If this is the case, please request to be unblocked using the unblock template, or request administrator attention using admin! and indicate you are caught by an open proxy block. More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software (such as a virus). In some cases, this can be remedied by logging into the secure server. For more information, see the Wikiproject on Open Proxies and Wikipedia:Open proxies.
