Installation

Run the following command to install this package:

    composer require shahriar-siraj/laravel-ip-blacklisting

Then, run the following command to run database migration:

    php artisan migrate

Usage

The package creates a database table named blacklisted_ips. To block an IP address, insert a record in this table which will restrict it from accessing the routes in web groups.

Table columns:

Column	Description
ip	IP Address that you want to block
duration_in_minutes	How long you want to block it. Set it as 0, if you want to block it indefinitely

Configuration

The package allows blocking certain IP addresses for specific minutes. Therefore, a cron job runs ip-blacklisting:clean command every minute to clean the outdated IP addresses.

However, if you do not want to use this feature, or if you only want to block IP addresses for specific hours or days, then you can optimize the task scheduling by modifying the cron job schedule in config/ip_blacklisting.php file:

return [
    /**
     * Cron job schedule for cleaning outdated IP addresses
     */
    'cleaner_schedule' => '* * * * *'
];
