Description-en: optimizing ipsets for iptables
This tool is capable of managing sets of IPs.
.
Why to use iprange over any other aggregate ?
* simpler
* supports many input formats, all together in the same file
* faster, actually a lot faster (thanks to the original design
by Gabriel Somlo)
* can reduce the subnets/prefixes to produce high-performing
netfilter/iptables ipsets
* can compare files with IPs to find if they overlap and to what degree
* can find the IPs common to a set of files
* can exclude IPs (merge a set of files while excluding all IPs matched
by another set of files)
