IP address blocking is commonly used to protect against brute force attacks, prevent disruptive or unauthorized address(es) from access or it can be used to restrict access to or from a particular geographic area — for example.

black-/whitelist handling:
banIP supports a local black & whitelist (IPv4, IPv6, CIDR notation or domain names), located by default in /etc/banip/banip.whitelist and /etc/banip/banip.blacklist.
Unsuccessful LuCI logins, suspicious nginx request or ssh login attempts via 'dropbear'/'sshd' could be tracked and automatically added to the local blacklist (see the 'ban_autoblacklist' option). Furthermore the uplink subnet could be automatically added to local whitelist (see 'ban_autowhitelist' option). The list behaviour could be further tweaked with different timeout and counter options (see the config options section above).
Last but not least, both lists also accept domain names as input to allow IP filtering based on these names. The corresponding IPs (IPv4 & IPv6) will be resolved in a detached background process and added to the IPsets. The detached name lookup takes place only during 'restart' or 'reload' action, 'start' and 'refresh' actions are using an auto-generated backup instead.

Enable E-Mail notification via 'msmtp':
To use the email notification you have to install & configure the package 'msmtp'.
Modify the file '/etc/msmtprc', e.g.:
[...]
defaults
auth on
tls on
tls_certcheck off
timeout 5
syslog LOG_MAIL
[...]
account ban_notify
host smtp.gmail.com
port 587
from <address>@gmail.com
user <gmail-user>
password <password>
Finally enable E-Mail support and add a valid E-Mail receiver address in LuCI.
Edit, add new banIP sources:
The banIP blocklist sources are stored in an external, compressed JSON file '/etc/banip/banip.sources.gz'.
This file is directly parsed in LuCI and accessible via CLI, just call /etc/init.d/banip list.
To add new or edit existing sources extract the compressed JSON file gunzip /etc/banip/banip.sources.gz.
A valid JSON source object contains the following required information, e.g.:
[...]
"tor": {
"url_4": "https://lists.fissionrelays.net/tor/exits-ipv4.txt",
"url_6": "https://lists.fissionrelays.net/tor/exits-ipv6.txt",
"rule_4": "/^(([0-9]{1,3}\\.){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])(\\/(1?[0-9]|2?[0-9]|3?[0-2]))?)([[:space:]]|$)/{print \"add tor_4 \"$1}",
"rule_6": "/^(([0-9A-f]{0,4}:){1,7}[0-9A-f]{0,4}:?(\\/(1?[0-2][0-8]|[0-9][0-9]))?)([[:space:]]|$)/{print \"add tor_6 \"$1}",
"focus": "Tor exit nodes",
"descurl": "https://fissionrelays.net/lists"
},
[...]
Add an unique object name, make the required changes to 'url_4', 'rule_4' (and/or 'url_6', 'rule_6'), 'focus' and 'descurl' and finally compress the changed JSON file gzip /etc/banip/banip.sources.gz to use the new source object in banIP.
Please note: if you're going to add new sources on your own, please make a copy of the default file and work with that copy further on, cause the default will be overwritten with every banIP update. To reference your copy set the option 'ban_srcarc' which points by default to '/etc/banip/banip.sources.gz'
Please join the banIP discussion in this forum thread or contact me by mail dev@brenken.org
Have fun!
