The causes of this warning are many, but you can briefly understand it like this: Initially, you log in to DirectAdmin on network A, then you do not log out but switch to network B, although you are still on the DirectAdmin admin page, when you enter CSF, you will receive a message similar to the following image. Or, your network is a dynamic IP and your network IP has just been changed by the carrier, resulting in the same warning.
