# noteguard
A high performance note filter plugin system for [strfry]
WIP!
## Usage
Filters are registered and loaded from the [noteguard.toml](noteguard.toml) config.
You can add any new filter you want by implementing the `NoteFilter` trait and registering it with noteguard via the `register_filter` method.
The `pipeline` config specifies the order in which filters are run. When the first `reject` or `shadowReject` action is hit, then the pipeline stops and returns the rejection error.
```toml
pipeline = ["protected_events", "whitelist", "ratelimit"]
[filters.ratelimit]
posts_per_minute = 8
whitelist = ["127.0.0.1"]
[filters.whitelist]
pubkeys = ["32e1827635450ebb3c5a7d12c1f8e7b2b514439ac10a67eef3d9fd9c5c68e245"]
ips = ["127.0.0.1", "127.0.0.2"]
[filters.protected_events]
```
## Filters
You can use any of the builtin filters, or create your own!
This is the initial release, and only includes one filter so far:
### Ratelimit
* name: `ratelimit`
The ratelimit filter limits the rate at which notes are written to the relay per-ip.
Settings:
- `notes_per_minute`: the number of notes per minute which are allowed to be written per ip.
- `whitelist` *optional*: a list of IP4 or IP6 addresses that are allowed to bypass the ratelimit.
### Whitelist
* name: `whitelist`
The whitelist filter only allows notes to pass if it matches a particular pubkey or source ip:
- `pubkeys` *optional*: a list of hex public keys to let through
- `ips` *optional*: a list of ip addresses to let through
Either criteria can match
### Protected Events
See [nip70]
* name: `protected_events`
There are no config options, but an empty config entry is still needed:
`[filters.protected_events]`
## Testing
You can test your filters like so:
```sh
$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/noteguard
$ <test/test-inputs ./target/release/noteguard
```
