Xenophobe

The purpose of this project is to geographically restrict access from countries to your server and simply iptables restrictions via a country code and not a large ip list.

It is intended as a means of reducing unwanted attacks, brute force, spam, etc. not as a means to segregate access worldwide nor discriminate against any country.

I have waned to package an rpm, and deb file that quickly allows most users to block ip addresses from ip blocks that have been geographically assigned. The solution exists via iptables and the geoIP database done via cmd-line.

I have begun to make a simple web gui, that allows for selecting countries one would like to simply block from reaching one's server. The gui incorporates country flags as a means of selection.

Eventually, this project seeks to be able to apply fine tailored restrictions, via port and protocols to firewall rules.

With help, I intend to port this to Windows in the near future.
