== nginx_ipset_blacklist

An nginx module for using netfilter ipsets as a black/white list.
In comparison to standard nginx access module this allows for dynamic list updating, without nginx reload/restart.

== Installation

* Get youself a linux server with root access
* Install ipset 4.4 (see http://ipset.netfilter.org/install.html)
* Get nginx source code, unpack etc.
* Install libssl-dev, pcre and other nginx requirements
* Configure nginx with this module:
./configure --with-module=/path/to/nginx_ipset_blacklist
* Compile, install
* Configure nginx to run workers as root (this is needed to allow access to ipsets)
* Create yout ipset and add some 'offending' ips to it:
sudo ipset -N myblacklist iphash
sudo ipset -A myblacklist 127.0.0.1
* Start nginx
* Profit!

== Usage
Sample nginx config:
user root;
worker_processes 1;

events {
worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
blacklist "myblacklist";
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

server {
# your server configuration goes here
}

server {
whitelist "my_whitelist"; # this server will not use global blacklist, but instad use local whitelist
...
}
}

For blocked ips server will respond with 403 error to any request.
