IP filtering on blueprints.
Is there an easy way of IP filtering in flask when ranges are involved? Also I heard from a 11 years old post that flask level IP whitelisting has security concerns.
Is there a standard way of doing this or should I create another service that is safegaurded with gateway level security or something?

you can use an nginx proxy to filter IPs and stuff
I can do that but the thing is I want it done on a particular level of api.

brody's gonna suggest something better than I can lol
nginx proxies don't play well and require too much effort to get working properly with railways private network.
just write a middleware for flask and use that instead, I wouldn't have even opened an 11 year old post
but I just filter that in app
I read proxies in that post and the alarms went off.
reverse proxys are generally fine, and in this context, it absolutely would be perfectly fine
I mean it said somebody can spoof IP using proxies?

Ik this is not a good source
nginx, caddy, a middleware, a firewall, there's nothing you can do if users just jump on their vpn
fair enough and who is jumping facebook's vpn, right?
