Documentation

django-block-ip

This is a simple application to restrict access by IP address. There's a few other apps that do this out there, but they tend to have other features such as rate limiting. I think it's best to leave rate-limiting to rate-limiting specific apps.

Usage

  1. pip install django-block-ip
  2. Add block_ip to your INSTALLED_APPS.
  3. Add block_ip.middleware.BlockIPMiddleware to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.
  4. Run syncdb.
  5. Add one or more entries to the BlockIP list in the admin. You can just enter a single IP or use a network mask, like this: 213.67.43.0/24
