White-list IP addresses or address ranges from being blocked by 404

Sometimes there will be occasions where you want to make certain IP addresses immune to blocking by this plugin. This is a cool feature which will allow you to specify IP addresses which you don’t want to be blocked even if they produce more 404 events than what your settings allow.

This is useful for cases where you might have a malware scanning service whereby the scanning bots will produce a lot of 404s as part of their daily scans and since such a thing is normal, you want to prevent these IP addresses from being blocked.
