Work to do

This is an in-progress work, many things must still be achieved to reach version 1.0.0:

• Web monitoring interface
• Code audit to improve performances + possible mistakes
• Regularly update input sources
• Making everything async
• Increase DNS record TTL for blocked addresses
• Log requests per equipments
