What went wrong?
As the title suggests I recently got approached by a player that claimed he had been incorrectly banned.
After checking his IP address I realized that in certain situations it incorrectly range bans when I don't want it to.
I'm not sure if this is an oversight or a bug but in any case it results in me not being able to range ban some ranges without negatively impacting other players.
Scenario
Banned player Bob has address 350.0.371.385
Innocent player Billy has address 350.432.371.392
Bob is playing on a mobile network and has range 350.0.371.0 - 350.0.371.255
I add range 350.0.371.0 to the ban list.
Bob is now banned.
Billy is now banned.
What should have happened?
I should be able to range ban Bob without adversely affecting players like poor Billy
Edit: Clarified the mobile network range
