@miken32 I've updated this class for Laravel 10.x (new ValidationRule contract) and PHP 8.1 (str_contains()) .. are you interested in having this to update?

@jonnott nah, I've updated months ago in our project, just didn't remember I'd posted this here.

Sweet, I've grabbed your new version. Thnx!

Appreciate this, I've used the basis but have a version/rule to check if an IP is in one or more CIDR subnets, not sure if it'd be useful to chuck a link on here or if you'd find that useful.

I think this could be cool as a little package like https://github.com/Propaganistas/Laravel-Phone

@miken32 would you be up for collab on this? i.e. if I turned it into a similar package + co-maintain .. ?

how is it going to put it into a repo guys?

how is it going to put it into a repo guys?

Are you keen for a package then?

sure

wait did we move anywhere with a repo? @miken32 since you are the author that would makes sense for you to do it...

Yeah I can do that @justasSendrauskas give me a couple of days

@justasSendrauskas @jonnott @lrljoe I put up a package miken32/network-rules if you want to have a look. Consolidated a bunch of one-off code I was using internally and added a bunch of new validations as well. Still marked as pre-release for now.

@miken32 brilliant! thank you very much

Very excited for this!
