    Well, I need to do rate-limiting for a small website @host_c asked me to write, is there any efficient and easy way to do this with PHP that doesn't involve fail2ban/a firewall and allows me to handle any IPv6 in a /64 as a single IP and automatically re-allow the IPs after a certain time? At the moment I'm doing it with a json file in a ramdisk but that feels wrong and inefficient.


    Not going to say more about the website...

    Caddy?

    gpt is considering rate-limiting options...

    @lukast__ what are you thoughts on redis?

    Haven't used it and IMHO it seems a bit overkill to install a db engine for rate-limiting. Thanks anyway!

    Just hook it to nginx and set a rate limit: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_limit_req_module.html

    Am already using it so will go with it. Doesn't seem to be able to handle IPv6 subnets though, but I'll ignore that for now as there's anyway no real way to determine whether IPs belong to a particular host because basically anyone can get a /40 or lower for cheap. Thanks!

    Are you limited to only having PHP and filesystem access? How about Redis or any form of SQL database?

    Also, not sure if you had already handled how to deal with IPv6 subnets, but I believe I used https://github.com/mlocati/ip-lib a few years ago doing something similar (or maybe that was just IPv4).

    I'm not limited to anything at all, but I think a db is a bit overkill. But thanks!

    Caddy?

    Well, I don't really want to switch the webserver... Thanks anyway!

    For now I'll go with the nginx limiting feature (have actually used it in the past I think), and if brute-forcing gets too much, maybe I'll simply disable IPv6 (sorry yoursunny).

    I agree, but reading/writing to a JSON file for every request (ramdisk or not) seems extremely cursed. :joy:

    RAID0 between a USB stick and MicroSD card for the speed boost

    Totally agree, that's why I asked.
    And the most efficient way does seem to be the nginx module because it doesn't even leave the webserver, and the PHP daemon isn't invoked.

    I found an interesting way to make use of map, can consider using it to extract only the first 8 bytes of $binary_remote_addr: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60477076

    (In the case of IPv6, $binary_remote_addr will be 16 bytes)

    It doesn't need to be "prod ready" for idling. As long as I can YABS it once and pay for it for the next 6 months without logging in ever, it's fine.

    So all I need is to sell applied cupons??? why the hack didn't you say so 2Yr back????

    Now he tells me, after spending $$$ on servers rather then just selling cupons.
