IP Allow List Updater

This project automates the process of updating an allow_list.txt by removing IP addresses listed in remove_list.txt.

How to Use

  1. Place the allow_list.txt and remove_list.txt files in the same directory as the Python script.

    • allow_list.txt: Contains the list of allowed IP addresses (one per line).
    • remove_list.txt: Contains the list of IP addresses to be removed.

  2. Run the script by executing the following command in your terminal:

    python update_allow_list.py

  3. The script will update the allow_list.txt by removing the IP addresses listed in remove_list.txt.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x

Example

Before running the script:

allow_list.txt:

192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
192.168.1.3
192.168.1.4
192.168.1.5

remove_list.txt:

192.168.1.2
192.168.1.4

After running the script:

allow_list.txt:

192.168.1.1
192.168.1.3
192.168.1.5

By following the steps above, you can easily maintain your allow list by removing unwanted IP addresses.
