Help:Whitelist Wikipedia on your VPN

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Wikipedia's no open proxies policy permits VPNs to be blocked for any period of time to counter abuse. Whitelisting Wikipedia only takes a few steps on most VPN services such as iCloud Private Relay and Microsoft Edge Secure Network, and will allow you to avoid collateral damage blocks that result from VPN usage.

iCloud Private Relay[1]

[edit source]
  • iPhone or iPad: Open page settings, then click on "Show IP Address".
  • Mac: Choose "View" > "Reload and Show IP Address".

Microsoft Edge Secure Network (PC or Mac)[2]

[edit source]
  1. Type edge://settings/privacy/security/SecureNetworkSites in the address bar.
  2. Add the following site to "Never use Secure Network for these sites": https://en.wikipedia.org.
  3. For other Wikimedia sites, do the same.
