+#summary Granular remote host blacklisting plugin
+#labels Stage-Stable
+
+= Details =
+
+As often it's undesiderable to employ only whitelisting logics in public environments, this module let's you more selectively
+restrict access to your hosts (component or server host) either disallowing access completely (with optional exceptions) or
+blacklisting certain sources.
+
+= Usage =
+
+Copy the plugin into your prosody's modules directory.
+And add it between your enabled modules into the global section (modules_enabled):
+
+ * The plugin can work either by blocking all remote access (s2s) to a certain resource with optional exceptions (useful for components)
+ * Or by selectively blocking certain remote hosts through blacklisting (by using host_guard_selective and host_guard_blacklisting)
+
+= Configuration =
+
+|| *Option name* || *Description* ||
+|| host_guard_blockall || A list of local hosts to protect from incoming s2s ||
+|| host_guard_blockall_exceptions || A list of remote hosts that are always allowed to access hosts listed in host_guard_blockall ||
+|| host_guard_selective || A list of local hosts to allow selective filtering (blacklist) of incoming s2s connections ||
+|| host_guard_blacklist || A blacklist of remote hosts that are not allowed to access hosts listed in host_guard_selective ||
+
+== Example ==
+<code language="lua">
+host_guard_blockall = { "no_access.yourhost.com", "no_access2.yourhost.com" } -- insert here the local hosts where you want to forbid all remote traffic to.
+host_guard_blockall_exceptions = { "i_can_access.no_access.yourhost.com" } -- optional exceptions for the above.
+host_guard_selective = { "no_access_from_blsted.myhost.com", "no_access_from_blsted.mycomponent.com" } -- insert here the local hosts where you want to employ blacklisting.
+host_guard_blacklist = { "remoterogueserver.com", "remoterogueserver2.com" } -- above option/mode mandates the use of a blacklist, you may blacklist remote servers here.
+</code>
+
+The above is updated when the server configuration is reloaded so that you don't need to restart the server.
+
+= Compatibility =
+
+ * Works with 0.8.x, successive versions and trunk.
