Configure wich IP addresses can connect to MyChat server and wich are not allowed.
You can specify who will be in the filter list: any connections or connections of specified applications.
This tool is divided into 2 blocks: the list of allowed and forbidden addresses.
Logic of IP filters
1.External client connects, the server determines its IP address
2.If IP address get to the list of blocked addresses/masks or ranges and if a client type matches with blocked entry, then the client receives a connection denial. If not — move on to the next check.
3.If the list of allowed addresses is empty, the client receives a permission for connection. The search in the list of allowed IP/masks, ranges and client type is produced in a different way: if the client does not get to this list it receives a connection denial. If it gets to the list — a connection is allowed.
