Current behavior (bug description)
Is there a way to add the subnets to the ip addresses to ignore when maintenance mode is active?

to something like this? because i tried this way and it's not working for me:

MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_URLS = ('192.168.0.0/32',)

Expected behavior
192.168.0.0/32

@davidgomezcol as documentation says:

# list of urls that will not be affected by the maintenance-mode
# urls will be used to compile regular expressions objects
MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_URLS = ()

So you just need to "prepare" your url for regex usage:

MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_URLS = ('192\.168\.0\.0\/32',)

Hello!.. I'm adding my ip addresses like this.. but it doesn't seem to work.. i'm still having 503's after this.. and there's a bunch of them.. i'm just sharing you a little.. there's about of 200 ip addresses that i need to add there..
MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_IP_ADDRESSES = ( '31\.186\.232\.0\/24', '34\.90\.192\.162', '37\.230\.97\.9', '63\.251\.76\.0\/25',)

I tested both ways and is not working for me... --- > MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_URLS

Sorry, but there is some confusion here:

• MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_URLS check a match in the url path, excluding the domain name.
• MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_IP_ADDRESSES check a match in the client ip returned by MAINTENANCE_MODE_GET_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS (see the README).

So, in your case you should add ip-addresses to MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_IP_ADDRESSES (without escaping them) and write your own custom MAINTENANCE_MODE_GET_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS function.

I'm using django-ipware to get the user ip address.. the problem is that i have is with this kind of ip addresses 23.64.0.0/14 that could be a bunch of them, so if django-ipware grabs the ip address for example 23.67.255.255 that would be in the list of ip address from 23.64.0.0/14. I thought that probably this could have an internal function that handles that kind of situation, where can be a added this way.. i have a large list of ip addresses that i need to add like that..

You should write your own function wrapping ipware.
