Allow UFW access from IP wildcard

Question

I would like to allow access from IP address based upon wildcards

e.g.

64.201.52*

How can this be done with UFW?

Have tried sudo ufw allow from 64.201.52.*

Something similar was covered at Ask Ubuntu: [UFW - allow range of IP addresees?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/646424/ufw-allow-range-of-ip-addresees) — Paul, Nov 18 '15 at 06:03

The jargon is not an ip-address wildcard but typically you grant/deny access to a network range or a (group of) subnet(s).

The equivalent to 64.201.52.* formatted as a subnet is then either 64.201.52.0/24 or 64.201.52.0/255.255.255.0

`64.201.0.0/255.255.0.0` or `64.201.0.0/16` is that correct for last 2 ? – Cyborg Aug 10 '20 at 23:02
