It’s called “allowlist” and “denylist” nowadays as it’s easier to understand for non-native speakers and not racist.
I feel like there’s an easier and faster way to match IP addresses than regex, e.g. the search tree apparia suggested. At least use bytes to match 😄

Yes, but does it really hurt you to make your software more accessible?
What good arguments do you have for the term blacklist?
“Denylist” is easier to understand and doesn’t spark discussions. Nobody will be offended, whether it’s technically correct to be offended or not.
I’m not a person of colour but your answer still insults me, because it’s so tone deaf.
