Description

In VCL web code utils.php under .ht-inc folder, the line 157 defines:
if(preg_match('/^152\.9\./', $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) ||

It accidentally matches the IPs of NCCU's IP range. Because it set the skin to example1 which does not existing, it will automatically block all access from North Carolina Central university accesses from their campus.
