### Describe your issue

Hi all,

I’m sharing a problem I ran into with the **nftables blacklist** app, in case it helps someone else.

After blocking several countries in the app, my server was no longer reachable from my phone over mobile data. It still worked over Wi-Fi. The relevant country was **not blocked**. Running `sudo nft delete table inet blacklist` made access work again immediately (temporary workaround).

**Cause**  
My mobile provider uses a range from AFRINIC space (registered to an Austrian company, `country: AT` in `whois`), but that range apparently ended up in the list of one of the blocked countries.

**Fix**

1. Get the public IP of the phone (Wi-Fi off), e.g. via [ifconfig.me](http://ifconfig.me). The IP shown in the phone settings is only the local one and is not useful here.
2. Look up the range owner:  
`whois <IP>` (check `country`, `descr` and `route`).
3. In the app’s config panel under `Allowlist > List of IPs to allow`, add the provider’s range and save. After that the IP was no longer in the blacklist and access from the phone worked again.

Hope this helps someone. Corrections or additions are welcome.
