+      - This setting is important when [[#initializing|initializing]] the ''allowed''  list. When checked (true), the test IPs and most incoming login attempts are tested against the <allowed> list and their status reported. When not checked, login attempts are not blocked. It default to false; as a practical matter, this gives the admin a chance to set up an initial allowed list without being blocked.
 In the case of IPv4 addresses, allowed IP addresses need not be complete addresses. For instance, if on your internal LAN, you have multiple users with IPs beginning with 192.168.1, you can include ''192.168.1.''  in your allowed list. In the case of IPv6 addresses you can include a CIDR modified address for your local network. For instance: CIDR range: ''fe80::19c9:eb59:c1c7:fbcc/64''.  All IPs on your LAN will then be able to login.
