Hi folks! I'm not certain this hasn't been asked before, but I attempted my due diligence by performing a thorough board search beforehand, so... What I'd like to have is a separate static list that negates user-definable IP ranges from the larger ipfilter. This parallel list should vet the ipfilter on startup. I see the need for this because the vast majority of users derive their ipfilters from large aggregation sources (i.e. bluetack) and some may find their political posture and methodology for range selection clashes with their personal convictions. Rather than simply acquiescing to this byzantine monoculture, I believe it to be prudent to allow the user to selectively and easily "prune" these raw information sources to their own preferences. I had originally envisioned forking their lists to suit my needs better, but that would have taken an inordinate amount of work on my behalf and most certainly would not appeal to the larger community. The approach I'm suggesting here effectively personalizes the ipfilter creation process. Furthermore, this doesn't constitute a manual ban, but rather a manual pardon, so to speak. Comments?
