Forgot to thank you :) It just didn’t seem to work for me, and today I decided to try once more, copied your line SecFilterSelective REMOTE_ADDR ^xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx$ nolog,allow to my .htaccess, put my IP in it, and guess what? It just worked. Though I honestly multiple-checked at the time, I can’t think of anything else keeping it from working than that I overlooked a typo…

And your way of commenting your .htaccess is very helpful. I am going to follow your example.

Re: How do I get around mod_security precondition failed the way Txp does?

I was getting similar 404 errors when clicking Save on various pages, such as SMD Plugin Composer, and contacted my host provider. They turned of mod_security and now everything works again.
