+#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.
