Query Regarding Traffic Rate-Limiting and Block Bad IP/Visitors Functionality

    I am reaching out to seek clarification regarding the Traffic Rate-Limiting functionality and Block Bad IP/Visitors functionality, particularly concerning IP addresses provided via the CrowdSec Community IP Reputation Database.

    We are looking to enhance our site’s security by implementing rate limiting for Proxy/VPN/Tor IP Addresses. After reviewing ShieldPro’s features, I understand that to block bad IP/Visitors (Proxy/VPN/Tor), we can add a blocklist via the CrowdSec Community IP Reputation Database with the CrowdSec IP Blocking option set to “Block Request.” This entails purchasing a premium plan from CrowdSec and updating their CrowdSec Enroll ID in your plugin settings at Dashboard ? Config ? Block Bad IPs/Visitors ? CrowdSec Community IP Reputation Database.

    Furthermore, we have already employed the rate-limiting feature at Dashboard ? Config ? Traffic Log ? Traffic Rate-Limiting. However, our specific requirement is to implement rate limiting for IP addresses detected as VPN/Proxy/Tor IP Addresses via the aforementioned blocklists, rather than applying rate limiting to the entire traffic.

    Could you please provide guidance on how we can configure the rate-limiting feature to apply only to the identified VPN/Proxy/Tor IP Addresses listed in the CrowdSec Community IP Reputation Database?

    Your prompt assistance on this matter is highly appreciated.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your post here about this. As I’ve replied to your ticket on our helpdesk, there’s no point to repeat myself too much here.

    Direct linking with your CrowdSec premium account and Shield will be a premium-only feature that has yet to be fully implemented in our partnership with CrowdSec.

    If this is something you’d be interested in, we’d ask that you become a member with us and we’ll see what we can do for you. The www.remarpro.com forums are for the discussion of non-premium plugins and associated features so this isn’t the best place to take this conversation onward. If you’re interested to chat further about this, please get back to our email and we’ll take it from there.

    Thanks!
    Paul.
