Navigate and sign in to your account through the [DNS management Portal](https://dns.illevante.com/) . 2. Navigate to the **Settings** section. 3. Select **User Settings**. 4. From the **"Access to Control Panel"** drop-down menu, select **"Only IP addresses from the list"**. 5. A new field will appear where you can enter the allowed IP addresses. You can enter: ``` - A single IP address (e.g., **123.45.67.89**). - A subnet mask (e.g., **123.45.67.0/24**). - A range of addresses (e.g., **123.45.67.89-123.45.67.98**). ``` 6. Once you’ve entered the IP addresses, click the **"Ok"** button to save the settings. This ensures that only the specified IP addresses will have access to the control panel. !! Please note !! If you make a mistake while entering the IP addresses and accidentally lock yourself out of the control panel, you may not be able to log in anymore. In such a situation, you will need to open a support ticket from your [**Illevante Cloud Client Portal**](https://cp.illevante.com/) to get assistance and resolve the issue.
