Full Version: re: Bandwidth quota (per IP) - Apache2

Hello all,

I have been having some issues with random visitors leeching excessive bandwidth, since the upgrade to Apache2. I used to use mod_throttle for 1.3, which allowed us to set a max bandwidth cap (not a speed cap) per IP address, but that is no longer supported for the newer versions of Apache.

Now, unable to find anything on my own, I must ask you guys, who are, I am sure, much more knowledgeable on the situation than me.

I have looked at mod_bw, mod_cband, etc, etc, but none of those offer the feature that I need (to cap PER IP/host), and most simply split the overall bandwidth (speed) to a certain amount per user, which is not what I want to do.

If you have any ideas on how I can do this, with some sort of apache mods, or a different method, please share icon_smile.gif

Thanks a million!
Dan

What do you mean 'leeching bandwidth'? How are they doing that - File downloads, etc?
