Description

NGINX module that watches the rate of error responses (404/403 by default, with opt-in 5xx) 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 spans nodes, and compact on-disk snapshots preserve active bans across clean reloads and restarts. No daemon, log shipper, or scripting layer required.
