This is odd...
I entered 127.0.0.* in the whitelist and Plesk came back to display 127.0.0.0/8 (i.e. the default)
On the other hand, if I enter 127.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 I get 127.0.0.0/24 (which is what I'd expect if the 255.255.255.0 is a reverse netmask sort of thing).
I wonder about this. Is the /8 shown when I enter 127.0.0.* a reverse netmask or something strange like that (32-8=24)? But if it is, then surely instead of /24 when I enter 127.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 I should get 127.0.0.0/8 as well.
Oh...after all that. It is a bug in 7.5 at least. Entering 127.0.*.* also gives 127.0.0..0/8.
Very confusing! I'm not going to abandon this post in case this is useful for anyone else trying to use the * option for whitelisting.
