Apache2 mod_evasive

I'v read this http://goo.gl/va4TM with interest.
Is it ok to use install mod_evasive on an Debian ISPConfig3 server or are there known issues?

 

No, that should work without problems.

 

Thanks Falko,
In the mean time I've implemented it successfully!

 

Falko,
After having some experience with this module, i must say that i don't recommend it on an ISPConfig3 server.

If you do, lots of 403 errors will occur in many websites.
I removed it again.

 

You might have to adjust the following parameters:
DOSPageCount
DOSSiteCount
DOSPageInterval
DOSSiteInterval

This page explains those settings: http://www.ivankristianto.com/web-d...dos-attack-with-mod_evasive-in-apache-2/1427/

 

Thank you Falko,
I will have a look at that and give it one more try.

 

Hello Hans,

I have tried same setup, and also got a lot of 403 errors on my server.

Have you found a good configuration yet?

Else we must try experiment to a good configration with this module.
