ACL

Simple Access Control Lists.

Access control lists are composed of “allow” and “deny” halves to control access. Use “all” or “*” to match any address. To match a specific address use any address or address mask that IPAddr can understand.

Example:

list = %w[
  deny all
  allow 192.168.1.1
  allow ::ffff:192.168.1.2
  allow 192.168.1.3
]

# From Socket#peeraddr, see also ACL#allow_socket?
addr = ["AF_INET", 10, "lc630", "192.168.1.3"]

acl = ACL.new
p acl.allow_addr?(addr) # => true

acl = ACL.new(list, ACL::DENY_ALLOW)
p acl.allow_addr?(addr) # => true
