@EriedgenArc can you provide exact IP or range which you IP cap to be lifted

IP is 10.41.220.xxx

That's an internal IP (Private-Use Networks per RFC 1918) within your local network only. We need public IP(s).

Hi all, enquiring about this now.

Updated information: IP for wireless connection is 194.80.232.29

We have also been given the range of 129.11.0.0-129.11.255.255 in addition.

I think it's safe to say we can skip that range then - sorry about that!
