): void

addSubnet(
prefix: number,
): void

Adds a rule to block a range of IP addresses specified as a subnet mask.

addSubnet(

prefix: number,
type?: IPVersion,
): void
check(address: SocketAddress): boolean

Returns true if the given IP address matches any of the rules added to theBlockList.

const blockList = new net.BlockList();
blockList.addAddress('123.123.123.123');
blockList.addRange('10.0.0.1', '10.0.0.10');
blockList.addSubnet('8592:757c:efae:4e45::', 64, 'ipv6');

console.log(blockList.check('123.123.123.123'));  // Prints: true
console.log(blockList.check('10.0.0.3'));  // Prints: true
console.log(blockList.check('222.111.111.222'));  // Prints: false

// IPv6 notation for IPv4 addresses works:
console.log(blockList.check('::ffff:7b7b:7b7b', 'ipv6')); // Prints: true
console.log(blockList.check('::ffff:123.123.123.123', 'ipv6')); // Prints: true
check(
address: string,
type?: IPVersion,
): boolean
