## List all granted IP addresses

List all IP addresses of remote desktop machines from which applications are allowed to create web socket connections to Cortex on Raspberry Pi device.

If the IP address of your remote desktop isn't in the list, you should add it using `accept` command.

## Add an IP address

Command: `cortexaccess ip accept  <an-ip-address>`&#x20;

## Remove an IP address
