Simple and easy to configure laravel ip blocker

for Laravel 4

Installation via Composer

Add this to your composer.json file, in the require object:

 "cresjie/ip-blocker": "v1.2.0.0"

After that, run composer install to install the package.

Add the service provider to app/config/app.php for laravel 4 and config/app.php for laravel 5, within the providers array.

 'providers' => array(
	...
	Cresjie\IpBlocker\IpBlockerServiceProvider::class,
)

Configuration

Publish the default config file to your application so you can make modifications.

$ php artisan vendor:publish

Add your block IP's to the configuration file:

 [L5 root]/config/cresjie/block-ip.php

Handling/Custom View

if the IP was blocked, it would throw Cresjie\IpBlocker\IpBlockerException. you could create a view by just handling the exception like this:

#laravel 5

// app/Exceptions/Handler.php

public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
	switch($e){
		case ($e instanceof \Cresjie\IpBlocker\IpBlockerException):
			return response()->view('view-path');
			break;
		default:
			return parent::render($request, $e);

	}

    return parent::render($request, $e);
}
