When looking into Allow and Deny, what does the ID number represent? For he most part its all the same for me except 4 characters in the middle. Thanks for the help.

Hey, welcome to the forum!

Good question, it is an alphanumeric version of the IP address we created. We decided to do this because if you could see the IP of anyone that you connect to then this could be used for nefarious purposes.

Thank you, Then is this different for each person or if you are on a dedicated server  two people can use the same ID?

The ID will be unique for every IP address. Each person would appear as a different ID, just as each server would appear as a different ID. Two people could connect to the same server yes.
