Hi can you please give me an update? Is this ready for March 27th? Thank you!

@Bluetube11 That's a lot of IP addresses with these ranges.

We are a university so they could be on our wifi or networked on university computers. These are the addresses we use for all our campus authentication purposes. To my knowledge there is no way to limit it further.

Thank you! We can shorten the window to 2pm-6pm CDT time if that helps.
