-Entries in both BLACKLIST.TXT and WHITELIST.TXT can contain a mixture of both IPV4 and IPV6 addresses and can contain a single wildcard, using an asterisk to mask an IP range.  For example "127.*" would block any IPV4 address that begins with "127." IPV6 works in the same way, expand the IPV6 address up to the point where you want to wildcard it, such as "014f:*"+Entries in both denylist.txt and allowlist.txt can contain a mixture of both IPV4 and IPV6 addresses and can contain a single wildcard, using an asterisk to mask an IP range.  For example "127.*" would block any IPV4 address that begins with "127."
