I want to make my Abyss is working only in my local network and block remote access over the Internet. How to do that?

Bear with me, it's been a while since I've done this...


First Option:

1) You're behind a router, do not port-forward it.

Second Option:

1) If you're running php, have it check it like this:
if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']!="(Your home IP here)")
{
die;
}

or the Last Option:

You'll have to go into the Abyss control panel and change the allow/deny order on the allowed IP addresses...This is what I barely remember. Try the other options first, and by that time somebody will have posted what I'm talking about here.

I want the last option, but I don't know how to allow access only for my local computers...?

Add an IP access rule for virtual path / (a single slash which means that it will apply to all your Web site), set the order to "Allow/Deny", and enter in the "Allowed IP addresses" the following IP ranges:

Code:
127.0.0.1
192.168.0.1-192.168.255.254
172.16.0.1-172.31.255.254
10.0.0.1-10.255.255.254
