please help me as soon as you can.
Alright, the easiest way to do this is as follows:
If you know the IP address of the single computer you want to access WinGate, you can setup a per-location filter for either the service or ALL your system policies.
Per Service:
1. Open the appropriate service
2. Switch to the Policies Tab
3. Add "EveryOne"
4. Switch to the Location Tab
5. Enter the IP address you want to grant access to
6. Click [OK]
7. Set "System Rights" to "Are Ignored".
This will then ONLY allow access to that service from a specific IP address.
For all services:
1. Switch to the Users tab
2. Open System Policies
3. Double click "Everyone"
4. Switch to the Location Tab
5. Enter the IP address you want to grant access to. I'd recommend you add the loopback / WinGate Server IP here as well if the other machine is a client machine.
6. Click [OK]
This will restrict access to ALL services to the listed IP addresses.
