The whitelist is very good for advertising a community's server IP's in case of a community of friendly / allowed IP event, but the premise behind blocking player stealing is very good, and well done on this effort.

Thank-you, I appreciate it!

It's just a thought, because minges will always try to circumvent security, and if something could be built into this plugin that would contain or allow the server Admin to select strings or combinations of an IP that could possibly be imagined, or respond to any IP string seen in server to bypass this, it could be then included in a blacklist of designs for IP addresses?

I could add a few more regex checks similar to that if you would like, however I'm not too sure about adding a way for an admin to define additional regexs' to check for, it's much cleaner to hard-code a few common possibilities imo.
xxx_xx_xxx_xxx
xxx*xx*xxx*xxx
xxx-xx-xxx-xxx
xxx,xx,xxx,xxx
etc... I will add this at a later time.
