Playground's screenshot: [![playground](docs/playground.png)](docs/playground.png) ### Routes [](#routes) This package provides two middleware groups to use in your routes: `'fw-block-bl'`: to block all blacklisted IP addresses to access filtered routes `'fw-allow-wl'`: to allow all whitelisted IP addresses to access filtered routes So, for instance, you could have a blocking group and put all your routes inside it: ``` Route::group(['middleware' => 'fw-block-bl'], function () { Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index'); }); ``` Or you could use both. In the following example the allow group will give free access to the 'coming soon' page and block or just redirect non-whitelisted IP addresses to another, while still blocking access to the blacklisted ones. ``` Route::group(['middleware' => 'fw-block-bl'], function () { Route::get('coming/soon', function() { return "We are about to launch, please come back in a few days."; }); Route::group(['middleware' => 'fw-allow-wl'], function () { Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index'); }); }); ``` ### IPs lists [](#ips-lists) IPs (white and black) lists can be stored in array, files and database. Initially database access to lists is disabled, so, to test your Firewall configuration you can publish the config file and edit the `blacklist` or `whitelist` arrays: ``` 'blacklist' => array( '127.0.0.1', '192.168.17.0/24' '127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255' '10.0.0.1-10.0.0.255' '172.17.*.*' 'country:br' '/usr/bin/firewall/blacklisted.txt', ), ``` The file (for instance `/usr/bin/firewall/blacklisted.txt`) must contain one IP, range or file name per line, and, yes, it will search for files recursivelly, so you can have a file of files if you need: ``` 127.0.0.2 10.0.0.0-10.0.0.100 /tmp/blacklist.txt ``` ### Redirecting non-whitelisted IP addresses [](#redirecting-non-whitelisted-ip-addresses) Non-whitelisted IP addresses can be blocked or redirected. To configure redirection you'll have to publish the `config.php` file and configure: ``` 'redirect_non_whitelisted_to' => 'coming/soon', ``` ### Artisan Commands [](#artisan-commands) To blacklist or whitelist IP addresses, use the artisan commands: ``` firewall:list List all IP address, white and blacklisted. ``` ##### Exclusive for database usage [](#exclusive-for-database-usage) ``` firewall firewall:blacklist Add an IP address to blacklist. firewall:clear Remove all ip addresses from white and black lists. firewall:remove Remove an IP address from white or black list. firewall:whitelist Add an IP address to whitelist. ``` This is a result from `firewall:list`: ``` +--------------+-----------+-----------+ | IP Address | Whitelist | Blacklist | +--------------+-----------+-----------+ | 10.17.12.7 | | X | | 10.17.12.100 | X | | | 10.17.12.101 | X | | | 10.17.12.102 | X | | | 10.17.12.200 | | X | +--------------+-----------+-----------+ ``` \###Facade You can also use the `Firewall Facade` to manage the lists: ``` $ip = '10.17.12.1'; $whitelisted = Firewall::isWhitelisted($ip); $blacklisted = Firewall::isBlacklisted($ip); Firewall::whitelist($ip); Firewall::blacklist($ip, true); /// true = force in case IP is whitelisted if (Firewall::whichList($ip)) // returns false, 'whitelist' or 'blacklist' { Firewall::remove($ip); } ``` Return a blocking access response: ``` return Firewall::blockAccess(); ``` Suspicious events will be (if you wish) logged, so `tail` it: ``` php artisan tail ``` ### Blocking Whole Countries [](#blocking-whole-countries) You can block a country by, instead of an ip address, pass `country:`. So, to block all Brazil's IP addresses, you do: ``` php artisan firewall:blacklist country:br ``` You will have to add this requirement to your `composer.json` file: ``` "geoip/geoip": "~1.14" ``` or ``` "geoip2/geoip2": "~2.0" ``` You can find those codes here: [isocodes](http://www.spoonfork.org/isocodes.html) ### Session Blocking [](#session-blocking) You can block users from accessing some pages only for the current session, by using those methods: ``` Firewall::whitelistOnSession($ip); Firewall::blacklistOnSession($ip); Firewall::removeFromSession($ip); ``` ### Installation [](#installation) #### Compatible with [](#compatible-with) - Laravel 4+ and 5+ #### Installing [](#installing) Require the Firewall package using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md): ``` composer require pragmarx/firewall ``` Add the Service Provider to your app/config/app.php: ``` PragmaRX\Firewall\Vendor\Laravel\ServiceProvider::class, ``` Add the Facade to your app/config/app.php: ``` 'Firewall' => PragmaRX\Firewall\Vendor\Laravel\Facade::class, ``` Add the Middleware groups `fw-block-bl` and `fw-allow-wl` to your app/Http/Kernel.php ``` protected $middlewareGroups = [ ... 'fw-block-bl' => [ \PragmaRX\Firewall\Middleware\FirewallBlacklist::class, ], 'fw-allow-wl' => [ \PragmaRX\Firewall\Middleware\FirewallWhitelist::class, ], ]; ``` **Note:** You can add other middleware you have already created to the new groups by simply adding it to the `fw-allow-wl` or `fw-block-bl` middleware group. Create the migration: ``` php artisan firewall:tables ``` Migrate it ``` php artisan migrate ``` To publish the configuration file you'll have to: **Laravel 4** ``` php artisan config:publish pragmarx/firewall ``` **Laravel 5** ``` php artisan vendor:publish ``` ### TODO [](#todo) - Tests, tests, tests. ### Author [](#author) [Antonio Carlos Ribeiro](http://twitter.com/iantonioribeiro) ### License [](#license) Firewall is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License - see the `LICENSE` file for details ### Contributing [](#contributing) Pull requests and issues are more than welcome. ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 62% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity68 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 90.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
