README

Middleware to block all requests from Russia to any Laravel app and display a pro-Ukraine message instead 🇺🇦

What does this middleware do?

This middleware checks the IP of visitors coming to your site for their origin. If it detects a Russian IP, instead of continuing as normal it will block the visit and display a pro-Ukrainian message.

The message looks as follows:

Installation

1. Install the package via composer: composer require pretzelhands/laravel-embargoed
2. Add the Pretzelhands\Embargoed\Http\Middleware\EmbargoOnRussia middleware to your app/Http/Kernel.php

<?php

// .. SNIP ..

protected $middleware = [
    \App\Http\Middleware\TrustProxies::class,
    \Fruitcake\Cors\HandleCors::class,
    \App\Http\Middleware\PreventRequestsDuringMaintenance::class,
    \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidatePostSize::class,
    \App\Http\Middleware\TrimStrings::class,
    \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ConvertEmptyStringsToNull::class,
    \Pretzelhands\Embargoed\Http\Middleware\EmbargoOnRussia::class // Middleware added!
];

// .. SNIP ..

The middleware will be active from then on and block all visits from Russia.
