MySQL Remote Access Control Script using CSF

mysql_in_out.sh

#!/bin/bash

###
# MySQL Remote Access Control Script
# This script generates lists of allowed remote IP addresses for incoming and outgoing MySQL connections,
# taking into account both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. It then updates the firewall rules using CSF.
#
# Usage: This script is meant to be scheduled to run periodically, e.g., using cron.
