+## Client Blacklisting/Whitelisting Middlewares
+
+This package provides the announce middlewares `client_whitelist` and `client_blacklist` for blacklisting or whitelisting clients for announces.
+
+### `client_blacklist`
+
+The `client_blacklist` middleware uses all clientIDs stored in the `ClientStore` to blacklist, i.e. block announces.
+
+The clientID part of the peerID of an announce is matched against the `ClientStore`, if it's contained within the `ClientStore`, the announce is aborted.
+
+### `client_whitelist`
+
+The `client_whitelist` middleware uses all clientIDs stored in the `ClientStore` to whitelist, i.e. allow announces.
+
+The clientID part of the peerID of an announce is matched against the `ClientStore`, if it's _not_ contained within the `ClientStore`, the announce is aborted.
+
+### Important things to notice
+
+Both middlewares operate on announce requests only.
+
+Both middlewares use the same `ClientStore`.
+It is therefore not advised to have both the `client_blacklist` and the `client_whitelist` middleware running.
+(If you add clientID to the `ClientStore`, it will be used for blacklisting and whitelisting.
+If your store contains no clientIDs, no announces will be blocked by the blacklist, but all announces will be blocked by the whitelist.
+If your store contains all clientIDs, no announces will be blocked by the whitelist, but all announces will be blocked by the blacklist.)
