Location Tab

A user connecting from any of the included locations is a valid recipient.

A user connecting from any of the excluded locations is not a valid recipient.

This allows you to restrict rights based on the location of the user.

You can specify that rights are available from:

Everywhere

a range of IP numbers (by use of a filter), or

a single IP

In order for the right to be granted, the IP number of the machine that the user is on must match at least one Included location, and must not match any of the excluded locations.

An IP Filter is a wild-card, allowing you to specify a range of IP addresses.

By using wild-cards (e.g the characters ‘?’ and ‘*’) you can tell WinGate to ignore certain parts of the IP address when comparing against the location restrictions. These wild-cards work in the same way as they do for DOS filenames, so if you are familiar with this then this concept should be easy. There are a couple of examples given at the end of this section which demonstrate how this applies.
