How to deny the access to, for example, 192.168.*.*?
Or to allow the access only to 192.168.*.*?
Thank you!

there are many ways to deny access to an IP address and none of them have anything to do with YAWS. It is really about network security and that's a topic for later.

In the meantime:

1) install a packet filter on the server. The actual implementation depends on the distro. pf, ipfw, iptables; are a few examples.

2) put a firewall hardware device in front of the server.

and so on...

BTW: you might also try (unverified) use https and certificates. Put the (self-signed) cert on the client and enable the option, in yaws, to validate the peer certificate.
