Description

NGINX module that watches the rate of error responses (404/403/5xx by default) each client generates and applies a timed in-process lockout to clients whose traffic is mostly failure. The ban decision is made in the NGINX preaccess phase, before any handler or upstream runs, with a fixed per-client memory footprint independent of the threshold. Optional Redis/Valkey ban replication across nodes and optional on-disk ban snapshots that survive reloads and reboots. No daemon, log shipper, or scripting layer required. To enable this module after installation, add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload NGINX: load_module modules/ngx_http_abuse_guard_module.so; Alternatively, enable all installed modules by adding this line to the top of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;

Built for SUSE Linux Enterprise.
