Фильтры разрешённых и запрещённых IP адресов для подключения к серверу MyChat

 

This tool is divided into 2 blocks: the list of allowed and forbidden addresses.

 

Logic of IP filters


  1. External client connects, the server determines its IP address
  2. If IP address get to the list of blocked addresses/masks or ranges and if a client type matches with blocked entry, then the client receives a connection denial. If not, move on to the next check.
  3. If the list of allowed addresses is empty, the client receives a permission for connection. The search in the list of allowed IP/masks, ranges and client type is produced in a different way: if the client does not get to this list it receives a connection denial. If it gets to the list, then connection is allowed.
