#summary Granular remote host blacklisting plugin
#labels Stage-Stable

= Details =

As often it's undesiderable to employ whitelisting logics in public environments, this module let's you more selectively
restrict access to your hosts (component or server host) either disallowing access completely or blacklisting certain sources.

= Usage =

Copy the plugin into your prosody's modules directory.
And add it between your enabled modules into the global section (modules_enabled):

 * The plugin can work either by blocking all remote access (s2s) to a certain resource (useful for components)
 * Or by selectively blocking certain remote hosts through blacklisting (by using host_guard_selective and host_guard_blacklisting)

Syntax:
{{{
host_guard_blockall = { "no_access.yourhost.com", "no_access2.yourhost.com" }
host_guard_selective = { "no_access_from_blsted.myhost.com", "no_access_from_blsted.mycomponent.com" }
host_guard_blacklist = { "remoterogueserver.com", "remoterogueserver2.com" }
}}}

= Compatibility =

 * Works with 0.8.x, successive versions and trunk.
