allow from [YOUR.IP.ADDRESS]

By doing this, only requests originating from the specified IP address will be allowed to access the application. Replace [YOUR.IP.ADDRESS] with your actual IP address. Please note that this step is optional and should be implemented with caution to avoid any access issues.
