Yeah the reason it does not work behind CloudFlare is because the limit_conn and limit_req is blocking the CloudFlare server IP for making to many requests. So that is why i am reciving the DOS output "503 service unavailable"
And I don't fancy building a whitelist of IP's since it would require manually updating allot. The cloudflare server IP's would need excluding from the $binary_remote_addr output. Currently i am using my first method and it works great. c0nw0nk Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > limit_req_zone $http_cf_connecting_ip zone=one:10m rate=30r/m; > limit_conn_zone $http_cf_connecting_ip zone=addr:10m; > > location ~ \.mp4$ { > limit_conn addr 10; #Limit open connections from same ip > limit_req zone=one; #Limit max number of requests from same ip > > mp4; > limit_rate_after 1m; #Limit download rate > limit_rate 1m; #Limit download rate > root '//172.168.0.1/StorageServ1/server/networkflare/public_www'; > expires max; > valid_referers none blocked networkflare.com *.networkflare.com; > if ($invalid_referer) { > return 403; > } > } Posted at Nginx Forum: https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,269502,269572#msg-269572 _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
