you might also get locked out by AutoBlock .... which has no whitelist feature

by using the dhcp of sme you can fix this : use the host panel and configure
the SME to use the same IP address for your laptop every time.

I am aware of this flexibility for an advanced customization. The interface is
intended for use in a safe and easy way.

this has been done so by design to avoid people to enter such things as
0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 (worst case, but few variants could harm as much with a typo in
the netmask calculation, or in this case trying to write a regex without
understanding what is a regex), which will defeat the purpose of denyhost.
the bug I see here would be that you were able to have it work manually
entering the value. The template should be fixed.
