Dear,

When I try to connect from anoter browser I got an error message saying (in summary) : You IP xx.xx.xx.xx is bloked because "blockedusername" has used it and is blocked.

I disabled the option to block IPs from this user. It works now. But I'm very concerned by the fact that my server or mediawiki installation is maybe infected by a malicious script.

Do you have an idea on how to check this ?

Regards

If the blockedusername wasn't you, check if the IP address is yours. You can check from https://whatismyipaddress.com/ or similar and compare with that IP.

If the IP is not the same, maybe the wiki is behind a proxy, and things all users are connecting through the same IP address (the internal IP of the proxy). If that's the case, you should configure Manual:$wgSquidServersNoPurge.
