his error is not caused by the rule. It is caused by a buggy version of modsecurity, specifically 2.8.0. 2.8.0 has a known critical bug in its IP matching code. It can not properly use IP addresses with rules, as documented in the github bug report below:

https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/issues/706

Do not use 2.8.0. Users should only use the currently supported version of modsecurity documented at the URL below:
