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.

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 k@gmail.com
user
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!
