Whitelist

Setting up the whitelist

By default the application only allows access from the local ip address. The whitelist can be managed through the configuration file.

The whitelist is based on an array containing addresses or address ranges in the IPv4 address range. Several address or address range formats are supported.

Allow access from any IP address

A single asterisk character is used to allow access from any IP address:

'whitelist' => [
    '*',
]

Allow access from localhost

Currently there is only one "hostname" supported which is localhost. This is simply an alias of 127.0.0.1:

'whitelist' => [
    'localhost',
]

Allow access from a single address

'whitelist' => [
    '10.0.0.1',
]

Allow access from a addresses using a wildcard

Wildcards can be used to denote a range of IP addresses. When using wildcards the first address in the range will have the wildcard replaced by 0 and the last address in the range will have the wildcard replaced by 255. All octets of an address can be replaced by a wildcard expect for the first one.

Multiple wildcards can also be used:

'whitelist' => [
    '10.0.0.*',
    '192.168.*.*',
]

The above example allows access from two address ranges:

10.0.0.0 - 10.0.255

and

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

Allow access from a range

Another option to denote a range of ip addresses is as follows:

'whitelist' => [
    '10.0.0.1-10.0.0.24',
]

This allows all IP address in that range access (including the start and end address).

Allow access from using the CIDR format

'whitelist' => [
    '10.0.0.10/24',
]
