Haha, I bet the person who wrote option B thought they were being clever by using IP::local_addr instead of IP::remote_addr. Nice try, but that's not going to work.

I think A is the right choice. Checking the remote IP address and rejecting based on the network is the way to go here.

That makes sense, option C does seem to be more precise in identifying the client address. Thanks for sharing your perspective, Marquetta.

The correct answer is A. It uses the IP::addr command to get the network address of the remote IP address and checks if it's in the 10.0.0.0/8 network before rejecting the connection.

I disagree, I believe option C is the right choice because it masks the client address correctly.
