    is there any plugins to restrict maximum page requests within x many seconds?

    like if a user or a bot ddos attacks any of my wordpress urls and they hit the max requests within x many seconds they get blocked like added to a temp cache of some sort or blocked via htaccess

    i would prefer it to ban ip’s via CSF firewall somehow.. using the CSF deny list

    or talk to cloud flare via API and add those ip’s to block list…

    I use Wordfence, and that’s been very good for that so far. There’s always more that can be done if you use a firewall on your server, but that does take a lot more configuration. For what I’ve needed so far, including (so far) 5 pretyt heavy-duty brute-force attacks, Wordfence has worked for me.

    k thx for the recommendation..

    i have firewalls set up and many other protections in place but.
    cloud flare makes things difficult and there is so much i can do on the server part.

    as the real visitor ip’s are not shown to the server only to apache using the mod_cloudflare module and the rate limiter for CSF would not work. since it would end up blocking the cloud flare IP ranges which isn’t good.

    + my server kernel doesn’t allow CSF rate limiter to function since it is a custom made kernel (OVH one with extra protection embedded into it)

    i am using zbblock for wordpress protection highly recommended against any kind of XSS hack/injections.
