Hi I accidentally check “use admin IP whitelist” now somehow my admin ip address is blocked so I cant access admin panel. I have SSH access, is there is any way to add ip to screened ip list via ssh or uncheck “use admin ip whitelist” via ssh. Thanks in advance.

These (untested) steps should work:

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
sudo ./launcher enter app
rails c
irb > SiteSetting.use_admin_ip_whitelist = false
irb > exit
exit

```
