OK. I reckon you've probably had like, 5291 users coming on here already, who have been asking the same sort of questions about whether proxies are allowed. So perhaps this problem ain't really a new one, as such. Although I didn't notice it quite as often prior to Fandom relocating servers. It has been giving me a headache, quite frankly. Now none of these proxies seem to work at all.

Anyway, I don't like using an account to edit pages on all of these wikis, due to this fruitcake floating around the wiki for horror films. I had to hide the 'favourite wikis' thing as well when I did use accounts, because he kept following me around wikis like glue on glue. I've had issues with this troll signing up multiple identities and harassing me personally for what has been years now. It happens on other websites too, so it's not a problem that is restricted only to Fandom. He knows I am an actor in Scotland, and he seems overly concerned with ruining my life. He has so many accounts on there already, kidding on he's things he's actually 100% not, and he goes around obsessively editing all the pages I have. I've reported him several times by this point, but the only admin active on there ain't doing anything about him.

Like, I had accounts from before that I closed, and this sad bugger went and edited EVERY SINGLE PAGE that I did just by looking at my editing history. Technically, I know that's not a crime. It's a public wiki that anyone can use. But I have had many dealings with this creep, so it's not like he has the most noble of intentions. I'm sure he does it so he can be subscribed to those pages. The man is an absolute loon. Trust me.

So what does this have to do with proxies? Well, I noticed that the VPN on Opera always has the type of IP addresses. Like, they're normally displayed as 77. something, and this loser is so observant, that he even checks for those. I kid you not. Anyway, I know with Hola and all that, you can change your country so that the IP addresses change pretty much each time. Using a new proxy means it would be harder for him to keep on tracking me around all of these articles that I contribute to. However, I suspect he can keep on stalking me regardless.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm moaning here, but I really do have to take measures now to shake him off, since the police won't intervene and try to get him dealt with, due to him living in either Australia or New Zealand. Another problem is that if you use Hola, the proxy timer for the free version is displayed on the bottom right side of the screen. When I go to Fandom, it keeps on popping up that disclaimer thing, but I cannot even click where it says 'Accept' because the Hola timer for some reason is covering the blue button, and I cannot click off of it. But anyway, I feel like using proxies is important to try to avoid detection from that idiot. I can appreciate that you maybe don't like them, as they can be abused. It's not just because of being harassed by him either, though. There's all manner of annoying people online these days, so anonymity is important.
