django-middlewall 0.1.2

Simple middleware for filtering requests by their source IP address

Simple middleware for blocking requests by IP Address

Quickstart

Install Django Middlewall:

pip install django-middlewall

Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'middlewall.apps.MiddlewallConfig',
    ...
)

Enable middleware components:

# enable both white and black listing

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'middlewall.middleware.BlacklistMiddleware',
    'middlewall.middleware.WhitelistMiddleware',
    ...
]

Define access lists in CIDR notation:

# only allow requests from these subnets

MIDDLEWALL_WHITELIST = ['192.0.2.0/24', '198.51.100.0/24']

# also block this specific address

MIDDLEWALL_BLACKLIST = ['192.0.2.1/32']

(optional) Define a custom function to get remote addresses from request objects:

# take advantage of the X_FORWARDED_FOR support in ipware

MIDDLEWALL_ADDRESS_GETTER = 'ipware.ip.get_ip'
