How to restrict the access IP of VPN users

I configured a VPN server(PPTP), and it works well. However, I just want people having IPs of specific address range can access to this server. So, what could I do to control or restrict the access IP address?

Why don't you configure your iptables firewall to allow only specific addresses for your VPN users and drop all others?

It should look like:

iptables -I FORWARD 1 -p tcp -s <your_vpn_pool> <your_targer_ip's> -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD 2 -p tcp -s <your_vpn_pool> -j REJECT

Look here for more examples about iptables config.

Why don't you just whitelist instead?
