Hi , A free account on CloudFlare ( https://www.cloudflare.com/ ) , can protect your domain , I didn't try it before, but someone advised me to use it for such cases . You may try it as it is free . Best wishes . On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 8:33 PM, Indranil Das Gupta <indradg@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all,
Last night I managed to DoS someone's Koha box accidentally, Of course I called up to inform them that they need to restart the services. But this set me thinking. Anyone running a crawler against the export options in the OPAC can DoS down a stock Koha install running on a VPS, by flooding it with too many requests too fast.
What are the usual recommended practises to limit / mitigate / handle such cases?
thanks in advance
