Protected range menu in Sentinel

Hi,

One member of my site reports that she gets blocked from my site with invalid IP-address. My site has Sentinel 2.1.3 installed, but not IP2Country.
I have seen that Sentinel has Protected Range Menu, so I tried to protect her IP-address.

In Protected Range Menu I add:
From IP-Adress: 89.160.32.0
To IP-Address:89.160.32.999

But when I later view it in Sentinel it is:
From:89.160.32.0
To:255.255.255.255

Does this give me a security hole for hackers or what does 255.255.255.255
exactly mean in this respect?

I suggest upgrading to the latest 2.5.2
That does have the correct IP ranges

Thanks. I got it working by instead of To IP-Address:89.160.32.999 using To IP-Address: 89.160.32.255
However, this protected range menu did not stop invalid ip-address to occur for my user, so it was a futile attempt to solve this problem.

Latest Sentinel + IP2Countries data should solve it
