 * Hello,
 * Love the plugin. I would like to see the ability to whitelist IP addresses formatted:##.###.##.###
 * Currently, its not possible and throws an invalid IP address error when saving(
   I see the note about only IPV4 & formatted IPs).
 * My issue is my host uses an IP address formatted ##.###.##.### and I so I keep
   getting lockout notices for their IP when they really shouldn’t be getting locked
   out.
 * If I’m missing something or there’s another way to whitelist them, I’m all ears.
 * Thanks again for the outstanding plugin and great support.

 * I think you need to do it like this for the IP network you are on if you do not
   have a fixed IP ###.###.###.*
    contact your provider who will be able to advise
   you about this

 * Thanks!
 * I got the IPs to at least get accepted by WP-Better Security, so hopefully no
   more lockouts or event emails will occur with those specific IPs.

 * But how did you do it? I am having the same problem – my range is 66.102.0.0 –
   
   66.249.64.0 – 66.249.95.255 and it is rejected, using “066” etc does not work.
