Default-block Azure WireServer's public address (closes #245)
check / check (push) Successful in 4m54s

Add 168.63.129.16 to blockedNetworks, the default blocklist, not
alwaysBlockedNetworks: it is public unicast, so an operator who lists
it in ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS can reach it again. The default-blocklist
refusal no longer says "private/reserved", which this address is not.

- Fixed, Microsoft-owned address:

- WireServer there bootstraps VM credentials and serves secrets:

147.75.207.243 (Equinix Metal) is not added: Equinix's metadata page
names only the hostname metadata.platformequinix.com, not the address,
and says Equinix Metal was sunset on 2026-06-30.
