 Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Wikipedia? Create an account! This IP address, , is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses registered to HughesNet, an ISP owned by Hughes Communications Inc. and is shared by multiple users. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this is not the IP address of your device. HughesNet is the IP address of a proxy server that communicates between your browser and the Wikimedia Foundation servers. This and other proxies are shared among an large number of users compared to the number of persons using your particular device. To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register). Please note: HughesNet users change IP addresses with each page they load. Warnings or messages left on this page will NOT be received by the intended user.
Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, because the IP address may later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user. The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.  Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format. |
This template is based on {{SingNet}} and therefore should be transcluded and not substituted. This template is needed because of problems with the HughesNet proxy network; the system being used is similar to the way AOL assigned proxies in 2006. In one case, an indefinitely blocked school IP was reassigned to HughesNet and had to be unblocked.
