Feature request: complex filters

[uzzle1987]

Hi,

First of all, thank you very much for geoip-shell. It has helped me a lot so far.

Is it currently possible to represent more complex combinations?
For example, this fictional example:

22 tcp allow only from DE
80, 443 tcp allow only from DE, CH, AT
8080, tcp allow only from US

I suspect that this is not currently possible and that a major rewrite would be necessary to achieve this. It would probably also be too complex to configure if you only need a simple filter.

Hi, currently protocols are only configurable globally for each geoblocking direction (inbound or outbound). I suppose it would be possible to implement granular config but this would indeed require fairly large code changes. One particular way I can think of would be to support multiple config files. Something like one global config file and then any number of extra files which define filters. The main challenge I can anticipate is implementing support for interactive configuration of these separate filters.

So I don't think this will be implemented soon but it doesn't hurt to keep this request in mind. Do you mind changing the title to something like "Feature request: complex filters"?

Hi,

thank you for your reply. I have changed the title.
Low priority and nice-to-have feature for me at the moment.

I completely understand if it doesn't happen soon. I also understand if it doesn't happen at all. It was just an idea that popped into my head :D
