Class RuleBasedIpFilter

java.lang.Object

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerAdapter

io.netty.channel.ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter

io.netty.handler.ipfilter.AbstractRemoteAddressFilter<InetSocketAddress>

io.netty.handler.ipfilter.RuleBasedIpFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelInboundHandler

@Sharable
public class RuleBasedIpFilter
extends AbstractRemoteAddressFilter<InetSocketAddress>

This class allows one to filter new Channels based on the IpFilterRules passed to its constructor. If no rules are provided, all connections will be accepted.

If you would like to explicitly take action on rejected Channels, you should override AbstractRemoteAddressFilter.channelRejected(ChannelHandlerContext, SocketAddress).

Consider using IpSubnetFilter for better performance while not as general purpose as this filter.
