The idea is explained here

In simple words, Nginx Proxy plays the role of load balance and transmits the HTTP/HTTPS requests to servers.

If the number of request times within a certain period from an individual IP exceeds a threshold, it will trigger a captcha for the upcoming requests.

And the end-user must input the correct captcha code before he can continue to access the site.

Do you know any open source / free NGINX module for this usage? I searched on the Internet and here is one of them: https://github.com/snbuback/nginx seems it needs modification.

Any suggestion / experience is welcome, thank you

I think, captcha will only annoy your real users. For this problem I'd rather use the testcookie-nginx-module.

  • Thanks, I don't quite understand how it works from its sequence charts. Will it prevent Search Engine Crawler to parse my site? Jul 5, 2012 at 5:11
  • Well, it depends on your imagination mostly :) I guess that correct robots.txt file would be a better option to filter out search bots. In addition to this, you can use nginx rules - like this way. Jul 6, 2012 at 4:50
