Failed to update server firewall rules

Question

Hi 
I have a problem with the SQL firewall. Unfortunately, I can not add IP address. It always comes this error when saving: Failed to update server firewall rules 
How can I change this? I need to change this setting so that I can work again. Unfortunately, I do not want to help the Support of Microsoft !!

Hi,
To configure your firewall, you create firewall rules that specify ranges of acceptable IP addresses. You can create firewall rules at the
server and database levels.
Server-level firewall rules: These rules enable clients to access your entire Azure SQL Database server, that is, all the databases within the same logical server. These rules are stored in the
master database.
Database-level firewall rules: These rules enable clients to access individual databases within your Azure SQL Database server. These rules are created per database and are stored in the individual databases (including
master). These rules can be helpful in restricting access to certain (secure) databases within the same logical server.
