ip-restriction

Summary#

Name#

The ip-restriction can restrict access to a Service or a Route by either whitelisting or blacklisting IP addresses. Single IPs, multiple IPs or ranges in CIDR notation like 10.10.10.0/24 can be used.

One of whitelist or blacklist must be specified, and they can not work together. The message can be user-defined.

How To Enable#

Creates a route or service object, and enable plugin ip-restriction.

curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '{    "uri": "/index.html",    "upstream": {        "type": "roundrobin",        "nodes": {            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1        }    },    "plugins": {        "ip-restriction": {            "whitelist": [                "127.0.0.1",                "113.74.26.106/24"            ]        }    }}'

Default returns {"message":"Your IP address is not allowed"} when unallowed IP access. If you want to use a custom message, you can configure it in the plugin section.

"plugins": {    "ip-restriction": {        "whitelist": [            "127.0.0.1",            "113.74.26.106/24"        ],        "message": "Do you want to do something bad?"    }}
