+ The `Allow` and `Deny` options provide a means to customize
+ which clients are allowed to access Tinyproxy. `Allow` and `Deny`
+ lines can be specified multiple times to build the access control
+ list for Tinyproxy. The order in the config file is important.
+ If there are no `Access` or `Deny` lines, then all clients are
+ allowed. Otherwise, the default action is to deny access.
+ The argument to `Access` or `Deny` can ba a single IP address
+ of a client host, like `127.0.0.1`, an IP address range, like
+ `192.168.0.1/24` or a string that will be matched against the
+ end of the client host name, i.e, this can be a full host name
+ like `host.example.com` or a domain name like `.example.com` or
+ even a top level domain name like `.com`.
