Mitigating DDoS Attacks on Web Services Using NGINX and Fail2Ban
Table of Contents
Nginx and Fail2ban are complementary tools for mitigating DDoS attacks. Nginx rate limiting provides real-time protection by controlling the number of requests allowed from each client within a specific timeframe. Fail2ban enhances this by analyzing Nginx logs to identify and block client IP that is sending excessive number of requests, further strengthening the server's defenses against DDoS attacks.
