Feature #195
closedLighttpd max connections per ip
Description
This would be a awesome function. I use lighttpd to run a big file archive and some users that run flashget or other download managers use up alot of connections and all the traffic they can.
Limitting max connections per ip address is vital in this case.
Are you planning to add it?

Wouldn't this be a better job for iptables/netfilter?

According to Jan (http://forum.lighttpd.net/topic/57#219) this should have been implemented in 1.4.9 but as far as I can see it was left out.
We have a global number ("server.max-connections") but no "server.max-connections-per-client". :-)

- Status changed from New to Fixed
- Resolution set to fixed
Hey! This was fixed in r896, but docs are missing.
A new module called mod_evasive was added which allows you to set evasive.max-conns-per-ip.
