I was recently blocked for half a year and was told to use {{avblockering}} on my discussion page but how to do that if I'm blocked? It doesn't work!

Even if the first thing you wrote is correct, what's the purpose of this policy:

"

Policy

Publicly available proxies (including paid proxies) may be blocked for any period at any time. While this may affect legitimate users, they are not the intended targets and may freely use proxies until those are blocked. Tor editing, on the other hand, is automatically prevented. No restrictions are placed on reading Meta or another Wikimedia project through an open or anonymous proxy.

Non-static IP addresses or hosts that are otherwise not permanent proxies should typically be blocked for a shorter period of time, as it is likely the IP address will eventually be transferred or dynamically reassigned, or the open proxy closed. Once closed, the IP address should be unblocked.

Yes, I was referring to a block on Swedish Wikipedia. Who's able to help me with that?

Look at the policy for the Swedish wikipedia. We are not able to help you here as this is mediawiki.org we do not have control over all of wikimedia. I would help you if I could, but I cannot.
