Thanks Sotiale,
But it doesn't seem I can edit that wiki page in the appropriate GIPBE to
add my name with the template... it gives me this:
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
*Your username or IP address has been blocked.*
The reason given is:
*There are multiple blocks against your account and/or IP address*.
- Start of block: 06:09, 18 October 2022
- Expiration of longest block: 17:14, 16 May 2024
- Relevant block IDs: #274862, #398716 (your IP address may also appear
in a blocklist)
Your current IP address is 191.101.132.215. Please include all above
details in any queries you make.

The bottom line is that you want to edit on several
wikis, including
Wikidata, English Wikipedia. If so, you may be granted GIPBE from Wikimedia
stewards.
It doesn't matter if you use multiple IPs, at least to attach GIPBE to
your account. It is sufficient to provide the VPN and blocked IP you are
using.

Please refer to the link above. If you can't edit metawiki, please let me
know.
Just keep in mind that if your VPN IPs are blocked on English Wikipedia or
Wikidata, their IPBE flags are also required for editing.

Hi Admins on Wikidata and Wikipedia,
Now that I've moved to China permanently (Wow the internet is super
fast!), looks like I will need to ask for an Ipexempt since I need to use
my VPN always when accessing any Wikimedia/Wikidata projects. I knew that
this would be needed prior to my move, however, I didn't realize how
cumbersome the Ipexempt request process might be in my case because of the
VPN usage. For example, I cannot seem to complete the Appeal a block which
is suggested for VPN users to go through if I understand all the pages I
read through[1
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IP_block_exemption#Requesting_and_granting_exemption>
,2
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unblock_Ticket_Request_System>].
It seems it asks for the IP address? but in my case it would need to be
global, since the VPN services I use route me all over the world to get
around safely and securely. Here's the error that I got when trying to
Appeal... Seems like that Appeal page should include a checkbox
alternatively to ask "Yes, I need global ip exempt since I will be using a
VPN always" ?

Thanks in advance! If there is another process I need to try to follow,
then please let me know in your reply and I'll do my best to try that other
process. The talk page template for the unblock request didn't work either
since I cannot edit my talk page because of IP blocking.
