Hello,

in Admintools, are dynamic IPs (e.g. hostnames generated by No-IP) accepted in Configure WAF -> Exceptions -> Never block these IPs?
So, for example, insert myhostname.ddns.net in ‘Never block these IPs’ field.

Thanks,

Lorenzo

Yes, and it is documented.

You may enter a dynamic IP domain name prefixed by the at-sign (for IPv4) or hash-sign (for IPv6). This only applies if you are using a dynamic IP address domain provider (e.g. DynDNS). For example, if you are using DynDNS and your dynamic IP address domain name is example.dyndns.info and resolves to an IPv4 address you can enter @example.dyndns.info to always allow your dynamic IPv4 address. Conversely, if your dynamic hostname resolves to an IPv6 address you can enter #example.dyndns.info to always allow your dynamic IPv4 address. Be careful to enter the correct domain name or you may have a delay of up to 30" processing blocked requests.
