Request reason:
Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 144.162.213.240. I am using this user as part of a college course. Please consider unblocking this user as soon as possible. Thank you. LaughingBoy528 (talk) 14:25, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
Decline reason:
As per below, the actual IP address is in the 98.158.240.0/20 block. This belongs to the Symantec proxy. You'll need to disable that and try again; you should be able to edit 24 hours after shutting down the proxy. If you have an exceptional need to use the proxy, WP:IPBE may be an option for you.

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.
Your account and the IP you give are not blocked. If you are still unable to edit, please tell the exact word for word message that appears when you attempt to edit. 331dot (talk) 14:37, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia. You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them.
Editing from 98.158.240.0/20 has been blocked (disabled) by ST47 for the following reason(s): Banned proxys.svg The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you are using an open proxy you will need to turn it off to edit Wikipedia. If you believe you are not running an open 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. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system.
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 the WikiProject on Open Proxies.
This block has been set to expire: 08:55, 14 December 2022.
Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators.
This is what comes up when I try to edit my sandbox. LaughingBoy528 (talk) 14:52, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
