Redis Client IP address is not in the allowlist

Just dropping this here.

This IP filtering is making Redis connections unnecessarily difficult. I created 2 different Redis databases but couldn’t connect to any from my local machine because of IP issues. Connecting to a database shouldn’t be that hard.

Anyway, I’ve moved on with Redis Cloud. Hope you guys reconsider the approach.

Config:

@mike_w please contact us directly with a new ticket from Dashboard and pick the redis instance and we can dig in.

For posterity, I found the problem. When using a wildcard like 0.0.0.0, /0 will be auto filled into the form field, but will not be saved. Updated the ticket with video showing how it happens.
