IP of a private tracker (absolutely trustworthy) gets blocked due to IPFilter rule

Open FaceCrap opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I regularly download torrents using a private tracker, started using IPFilter this week with qBitTorrent and noticed it blocks the tracker because the tracker IP sits in a range listed in the dat file... I can of course modify the range to exclude the tracker but wonder why it is even included,

Seeing as the list has a whole lot of just single IP's the range that this IP falls in seems a tad overzealous

002.056.000.000 - 002.059.255.255 , 000 ,

Upon somewhat closer inspection, there's more of those massive ranges.

Now I know some weird stuff happens out there, but blocking such massive ranges don't seem right.. so I disabled the use of this list for the time being as I'm not so sure about its validity anymore.
