Overview ¶
Package netguard is the one answer to "may filex dial this address?".
Two callers ask it, for the same reason: a URL an administrator or a plugin hands us must not become a probe of the server's own network. An install URL of http://169.254.169.254/… or http://10.0.0.5:9200/… is the SSRF shape, and so is a plugin's http_request to a public name that resolves to a private address. The check therefore runs on the DIALLED address, after DNS, and on every redirect hop — never on the string.
It lives in its own package so the storage-plugin downloader (internal/plugin) and the app-plugin outbound transport (internal/wasmplugin) cannot drift apart: one list of refused ranges, one guarded dialer, one error.

Variables ¶
var ErrPrivateTarget = errors.New("resolves to a private or local address")
ErrPrivateTarget is what a guarded dial answers for a refused address. Callers match it with errors.Is to turn it into their own wording.
Functions ¶
func DialContext ¶
func DialContext(dialer *net.Dialer) func(ctx context.Context, network, addr string) (net.Conn, error)
DialContext is a net.Dialer's DialContext wrapped in the Refused check: the name is resolved here, every answer is checked, and the connection is made to the address that passed — so nothing can re-resolve to something else between the check and the dial.
func Private ¶
Private says whether an address is inside the private network — loopback, link-local, RFC 1918 or ULA. This is the WEAKER question, asked about a destination filex will send credentials to: plain http:// is tolerable there and nowhere else. It deliberately does not include multicast or the unspecified address, which are not destinations at all.
func Refused ¶
Refused reports whether a resolved address is one an outbound request may never reach: loopback, link-local (v4 169.254/16 and v6 fe80::/10, which is where cloud metadata lives), the RFC 1918 / ULA private ranges, multicast and the unspecified address.
A nil IP counts as refused: "we could not tell" is not permission.
