NSWiki Open Proxy Error Message

by **Bloodbath Generation** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:33 pm

When I go on to set up an account for NS Wiki, I get this:

How do I fix this?

First, we're not NSwiki. Questions about third party sites should be asked on third party sites.

Second, don't attempt to connect via an open proxy. The error message is pretty clear.

I tried to create an account on the NSwiki to edit the page on On Abortion, because the description of my Right to an Emergency Abortion proposal was inaccurate (it did not legalize abortions for fetal abnormalities), but it says my IP is listed as an open proxy, and I can't make an account.

The solution would then be to get off the proxy. ^_^ See here.

NSwiki is independent of Nationstates.net and its forum, for the record.

I'm not on a proxy, though.

I can't create an account on NSWiki, because it says that my IP address is open proxy. Can someone help me?

Come on guys, I've waited ages for a response and I still haven't got one! (NOT BUMPING)

by **Slembana** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 8:05 am

Guys, I NEED a response!

by **Slembana** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 8:09 am

Seriously, where's the response I need? Jesus!

by **Slembana** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 8:19 am

Pestering people 5 times over half an hour isn't going to get people to help.

I don't know, this is something for the techies among us.

Can you ask someone to move this to the Technical thread?

Just ask in Moderation, say something like "I've created this thread [give a url], but I think it belongs in technical, can you move it, please?"

I don't know if this is a matter for the Technical forum or not, though, as that's related to NS itself and not the wiki. It's worth asking, though.

Don't use a proxy.

NSwiki IS NOT related to NationStates save for content and name. While yes, nations on NS may have pages there but NSwiki is separate from NationStates. So, you are better off asking on their website.

How do I disable it?

Bumping the thread this much is completely unnecessary. The solution can be found here, and it basically states to get off the proxy.

by **Frisbeeteria** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 10:19 am

This is not a Help Desk.

This is not NSwiki.

We are not your servants.

This doesn't need to move to Technical, as you have all the answers you're going to get. iLock.

Now, before you shoot me, I wasn't sure where to head, couldn't find somewhere to submit this, when I try to create an account, it comes up with this error.

Your IP address is listed as an open proxy in the DNSBL used by NSwiki. You cannot create an account

I'm unsure what this means, as I've never attempted to sign up for NSwiki or any Wiki for that matter, any help on the matter would be brilliant.

by **Fischistan** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:44 am

That means that you're using a proxy to connect to nswiki. It will let you sign up if you don't use a proxy.

by **Inthelittlenation** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:45 am

I don't understand computer lingo tbh. -_-, how would I go about that?

by **Frisbeeteria** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:50 am

Asked and answered several times already.

The error message is quite clear. You're on an open proxy. You need to create your account from another computer. For what it's worth, I'm seeing this from nations who connect via Talk Talk, which I assume is a phone based ISP. It would seem that NSwiki's MediaWiki engine (or the various ISPs) have tagged those addresses as open proxies.

I seriously doubt that the NSwiki admins want to (or have the ability to) delve through their proxy list and open specific addresses, so you probably need to go to the library or school or something and open your account. Once you have login credentials, it's likely not to be a problem anymore, regardless of proxies.

Acknowledging there have been several topics made about the matter, refusing to make yet another topic, acknowledging they all propose the same solution, entirelly conscious of the fact that I'm not using any proxy and am attempting log in from my own home, I'd like to request help

I don't think it's as simple as you think it is.

To the OP: Just get someone to create an account for you, and ask them to TG you the password. When you receive the password TG, save it.
