<p>My bitcoin.conf file has the following lines:</p>

<p>But I'm getting this error:</p>

My bitcoin.conf file has the following lines:

```
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*

```

But I'm getting this error:

> Error: Invalid -rpcallowip subnet specification: 192.168.\*. Valid are a single IP (e.g. 1.2.3.4), a network/netmask (e.g.
> 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0) or a network/CIDR (e.g. 1.2.3.4/24).

How do I allow an IP range as I did before?

That format has been removed.

Use

```
rpcallowip=192.168.0.0/16

```

instead.
