 * Does the whitelist support IP’s with a subnet mask notation (eg.g. 192.168.0.1/
   32)?

 * Hi,
 * Traffic from private IP addresses are automatically whitelisted. Here is a link
   with more info:

 * That’s actually not an answer to my question. I only used a private IP address
   as an example. I think a more specific way of asking is; Does the whitelist API
   function support addresses in a CIDR format (e.g. includes the “/” at the end
   such that you can add blocks without having to convert them to the arbitrary 
   range format listed in the documentation?

 * No, you must translate CIDR format.
