Pushpendra Singh Chauhan Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Could anyone guide me how to restrict the maximum number of requests a particular IP address is able to make in a given window of time ? Is this possible within IPS? If not how we can do this in Apache? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will require a custom app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 This is best handled at the server or network level. I will transfer this to the appropriate forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) The BEST way to do this would be with a Web Application Firewall that sits in front of your website such as Cloudflare. If you have root level access to your server, you could look at mod_evasive or mod_dosevasive which would give you controls that you could apply in https.conf or in .htaccess if enabled. You could also look at a software firewall for your server with CSF. (It makes it much easier to manage than using iptables manually.
