Solved Whitelist locks me out of management webfront

[Ayia Napa George]

Being a "clever admin", I locked down access to admin webfront by allowing only my public IP as management address.

Unfortunately, my fix IP got changed to a floating one, because of an error at Vodafone.
Cannot get back old IP, so I'm locked out of admin webfront.

I thought, no big deal, I might gain access through command line:

• Restore initial backup... Already includes whitelist.
  OK, no solution, so next try:
  
  
• Unzip a backup, modify .XML, zip it again and restore it.
  No solution either, as there's no documentation on how to create checksum which needs to be in "metadata".

There is already a thread "Modify 3CX Backup Zip", but it seems like 3CX is anxious that noobs like me might mess up their system by changing IPs in an XML....
I wonder, why this XML is so well documented, if nobody is allowed to do anything with it, except maybe retrieve lost admin password.....

So: What is the solution to this problem?

2 quick options:

1) Access it from another machine on same subnet (Admin Console by default allows all RFC1918 space)

2) If you can get a SSH session to the machine you can run the following:

ssh 'your-username' @ 'your-server-ip' -L 5001:localhost:5001

Then open a browser and navigate to https://localhost:5001
After logging in go to restrictions and add your new IP.

Bruh, I'm saving this.

You can do this also via the PuTTY interface that I know of:

Did the trick. You are the man ! Just tunneling 5001 was not on my mind last night....
