There are a lot of ip addresses pre-loaded into the exceptions list - i cannot delete them.

 

Never block these IP's

20.191.45.212,23.21.227.69,40.88.21.235,50.16.241.113,50.16.241.114,50.16.241.117,50.16.247.234,52.5.190.19,52.204.97.54,54.197.234.188,54.208.100.253,54.208.102.37,107.21.1.8

 

I have never seen this pre-loaded before.

 

Should it be there?

Yes, these should be there. These are the known good IP addresses of search engines, Sucuri and CloudFlare. Nothing to worry about and no harm done by them being there.

Due to the way Admin Tools 6 works you can't delete them all. If you try to do that the empty field gets re-initialised with the default list. If you want for some reason to remove then you can replace them all with a different IP address (e.g. 8.8.8.8 which is a DNS server and no HTTP traffic will come from) to work around that limitation.

Admin Tools 7 (for Joomla 4 only) doesn't have this problem since it's using an entirely different method of managing this list of IP addresses. This cannot be transferred to Admin Tools 6; it took a complete rewrite to be able to implement this in Admin Tools 7.
