Hello,

I was merrily rolling along reading and editing wiki articles, when I get:
Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Nishan9".
Is there someone who can help move me out of this predicament?
I just unblocked the IP, so you should be able to edit the wiki again.
FYI: This was collateral damage from auto-blocking a spammer. The IP is one of the AccessManager authentification proxies, and for the wiki it looks like all traffic is coming from this proxy. I already whitelisted some IPs, but I know that there's at least one that isn't on the whitelist. (As long as we are on the current hardware, getting changes deployed is a bit, well, complicated ;-) and it's easier for me to unblock someone once a month ;-)
I work on updating the wiki and moving it to new hardware (which will also give me SSH access to the wiki servers) [1]. Once this is done, getting rid of the accidential IP blocking will be easy.

Christian Boltz
[1] Actually there's a bit more involved (for example getting the server setup done using Salt). If you are interested in more details, have a look at http://lists.opensuse.org/heroes/2016-12/msg00002.html and http://lists.opensuse.org/heroes/2016-12/msg00004.html

Thanks, Christian I'm back to editing. I'm glad you were available. I'm sure we'll all benefit from the work of the heroes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner@opensuse.org
