I find that if I surf to the cups server from a vpn address, I can cause cupsd to freeze.

The cups server is on a pc with subnet is 192.168.14.0/255.255.255.240. This server is connected using open vpn to a server and gets an address in the subnet 192.168.14.129/255.255.255.240.

now , I surf to the cups server port 631 using the 192.168.14.129/255.255.255.240 address. I can see the page and move to diffrent views. when I try to take an admin action - I freeze the cups server.

my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf reads:
<Location /admin>
  Encryption Required
  # Restrict access to the admin pages...
  Order allow,deny
  Allow localhost
  Allow 192.168.14.*
</Location>

what other info should I provide?
thnaks,
Niv
