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 StringStore to blacklist, i.e. block announces.
The clientID part of the peerID of an announce is matched against the StringStore, if it's contained within the StringStore, the announce is aborted.
client_whitelist
The client_whitelist middleware uses all clientIDs stored in the StringStore to whitelist, i.e. allow announces.
The clientID part of the peerID of an announce is matched against the StringStore, if it's not contained within the StringStore, the announce is aborted.
Important things to notice
Both middlewares operate on announce requests only.
Both middlewares use the same StringStore.
It is therefore not advised to have both the client_blacklist and the client_whitelist middleware running.
(If you add clientID to the StringStore, 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.)
