 * If I select an IP range of, say, 23.23.23.23 – 23.23.99.99, it is recorded as
   0.0.0.0 – 23.23.99.99.
 * I’ve also noticed that selecting a hostname to block, such as *.rambler.ru, has
   no effect.

 * Hi,
 * Sounds like you could possibly have a database saving issue. I tested the range
   you provided and it saved normally. You could try running a MySQL table. Is this
   a new installation of Wordfence or has it been installed for some time?
 * Thanks,
    Brian
