warn about stale IP address whitelisting

For people who work on wireless networks, if you come back after the weekend the IP address has often changed. If you are working with whitelisting, you now have the surprising situation that your connection string no longer works. The sidebar in Compass gives instructions on getting the connection string or how to format it, but no reminder that connections that recently worked might be unusable now because the IP address whitelisting is now out of date. In addition, Compass might list your IPv4 and IPv6 to let you know what these values are instead of requiring to go to some public IP address lookup site.
