Allowlisting IPs: Error “An error occurred while saving the configuration”

Hi @8persap, thanks for getting in touch.

Could you possibly add the IP addresses here in a code block so I can try them myself on my configuration? What you have provided in the screenshot seems valid but the contents of the textbox might hold a clue as to why this error message appears, so it’d be good to try replicating myself.

Thanks,

Peter.

Thanks for the quick reply,Peter ??

Hi @8persap, sorry for the delay.

There seem to have been hidden characters in the list of IPs provided that may be whitespaces, tabs or new line characters. Every time I copied the provided list in, I was also receiving the same error even after copying to Notepad and editing it manually.

To solve, I added commas and pasted the list into https://www.browserling.com/tools/remove-all-whitespace and was then able to save. I will provide this list again below, but if the forum adds any formatting characters you may have to run it through the link again as I did.

I was able to paste the contents of the above quote directly from the forum into Wordfence and it saved successfully.

Thanks again,
