Using an account is not enough to bypass a blanket IP address range block on Wikipedia. You have to meet certain conditions and submit a formal request for an exemption: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IP_block_exemption#Requesting_and_granting_exemption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IP_block_exemption#R... (And I should point out that using a commercial VPN — which is a form of anonymizing proxy — seems to disqualify you for an exemption; I’m not really sure if an exemption could be granted if you have to use a VPN, but it doesn’t seem to be the case, at least on paper.)
I’ve noticed the same when trying to edit from a commercial VPN service.
