Laravel IP middleware

Laravel middleware for whitelisting/blacklisting client IP addresses

Requirements

• PHP 8.0 or higher
• Laravel 8 or higher

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require orkhanahmadov/laravel-ip-middleware

Usage

Packages comes with WhitelistMiddleware and BlacklistMiddleware middlewares. You can register any or both of them in $routeMiddleware in app/Http/Kernel.php file:

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // ...
    'ip_whitelist' => \Orkhanahmadov\LaravelIpMiddleware\WhitelistMiddleware::class,
    'ip_blacklist' => \Orkhanahmadov\LaravelIpMiddleware\BlacklistMiddleware::class,
];

Use middlewares in any of your routes and pass IP addresses.

Route::middleware('ip_whitelist:1.1.1.1')->get('/', 'HomeController@index');
Route::middleware('ip_blacklist:3.3.3.3')->get('/', 'PostController@index');

• ip_whitelist middleware will block any requests where client IP not matching with whitelisted IPs.
• ip_blacklist middleware will block requests coming from blacklisted IPs.

You can also pass multiple IP addresses separated with comma:

Route::middleware('ip_whitelist:1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2')->get('/', 'HomeController@index');

This will block all requests where client IP not matching whitelisted IP list.

Package also allows setting predefine IP list in config and use them with name:

// config/ip-middleware.php

'predefined_lists' = [
    'my-list-1' => ['1.1.1.1', '2.2.2.2'],
    'my-list-2' => ['3.3.3.3', '4.4.4.4'],
];

Route::middleware('ip_whitelist:my-list-1,my-list-2')->get('/', 'HomeController@index');
// you can also mix predefined list with additional IP addresses
Route::middleware('ip_whitelist:my-list-1,my-list-2,5.5.5.5,6.6.6.6')->get('/', 'PostController@index');
