Hi all, unluckily my apache sometimes gets bombed with new connections and so doesn't work anymore. I think this is a DOS attack from some stupid guy out there...
Just thought iptables could help me out here. Is it possible (and how) to only allow say 5 new connectios per second for an ip address ? Would this be enough for a normal apache user or would he get connection errors ? Are there any other ways of protecting my server from being overloaded (currently I sent the maxclients count to 75 which is almost reached some times..) Thanks a lot, Corin
