You don't have permission to access /manage on this server.

Answer 1

if you decide to do with .htaccess per folder:

SetEnvIfNoCase Remote_Addr ^208\.xxx\.xxx\.103$ MODSEC_ENABLE=Off

If you decide to do with mod_security.conf per server:

SecRule REMOTE_ADDR "^208\.xxx\.xxx\.103$" phase:1,nolog,allow,ctl:ruleEngine=Off
