Blocking access to site

[jabbo]

I have one question, how can I forbid a person, who is Reloading my Site always, so my HTTPD is going 50 - 60 %?

When he loads my site 2x too fast, then for some seconds index forbidden?

Thanks for Replying :P

You can easily block him completley if he always uses the same IP address.

Doing anything based on 'number of loads per unit time' requires a script to keep a database of all accesses from all IP addresses, and invoke and lift blocks based on timing, etc.

Then there are modules like mod_dos_evasive, firewalls, and other solutions. WHich one is right for you depends on your programming skills, available hosting capabilities, and how much time you want to devote to the problem.

Everything is for LInux.

Nobody can help me?

We have only a few contributors here, and it seems that none have installed mod_dos_evasive -- or have installed it recently enough to remember enough to be of much help to you. I'd suggest that you read the documentation for that module, and do some searches for "install mod_dos_evasive" and "mod_dos_evasive installation," etc.

You might also look for a 'bad bot' blocking script, like the one linked in the PHP Library:
