Limit connection

Server NGINX
1

Hello,
I want to limit the number of connection per hour from IP range.

For example, I want to limit every hour, each IP can only visit our
website for 5 times.

How can I write the config?

There is limit_req, which limit the connection rate, used for DDos
control.
But it is different from my requirement.

Thanks,
Yanxin

You might be better off researching a solution with iptables

Many are available online in regards to SSH limiting however you have
to put in IP ranges of people you do not want to limit, which could be
very hard. What exactly are you trying to do?

Hi Chris,
I want to control the public to do query inside my website, so that bad
guy can not do database harvest.
For example, each IP can only do query 10 times per day.

The IP I do not want to limit is my own IP. So it’s simple to recognize
the IP range.

Please let me know your opinion.
Thanks,
Yanxin

I wish you luck on a solution but it seems rather odd
