ipWhitelist doesn't work for me

[MikeColes]

@Beh , I ran into the same problem with the same solution. A /24 CIDR didn’t work, probably because of the IPv6 format.

Has anyone played around with getting a correct network format in use?

I got it to work using "::ffff:192.168.1.1/24".

If you check your node console output, It should show the blocked IP.

@MichMich

how to check this?

@mochman Thanks for the hint. That is also working for a whole range like “::ffff:192.168.2.0/24”

@DazDavid Yeah, I messed up with the CIDR notation for IPv6. The reason why “/24” works is because that gives you practically every IP (especially every IP4 address). If you want to just have 192.168.X.0 - 192.168.X.255 whitelisted, you should use "::ffff:192.168.X.1/120".
