Package: Tor Geoip Tools

Sometimes Web servers that run PHP sites are attacked by several machines hosted in the same network.

One way to protect against those attacks from all those machines is to block network connections from the whole IP address range segment.

This package simplifies blocking a whole IP address range segment by generating commands to run the Linux iptables command that adds rules to stop all the IP addresses that belong to those range segments.
