  2. Search for the exact phrase "AllowedIPOnServerOptions", then modify the "From" and "To" values to the IP range that you want:

    cbs.json
    ...
    "AllowedIPOnServerOptions": [{
    "Class": "com.ahsay.cbs.system.config.EditConfigBean$AllowedIPOnServerBean"
    "From": "127.0.0.1",
    "To": "255.255.255.255",

  3. Next, search for the exact phrase "AllowedIPOnServerOptionsCol", then modify the "From" and "To" values to the IP range that you want:

    cbs.json
