IPredator is blocked due to massive spam attacks. Despite reports to
their abuse contacts, the spam attacks continued. So they're blocked
and remain blocked. wiki.debian.org is far from the only site on the
net with this policy.
If you want to access the Debian wiki, don't use a known spam haven as
a transport. I'm not going to unblock IPredator.
