Sysadmin Not blocking bad bots

I assume you mean the bad bot blocking and rate limiting implementation outlined here ?

Using BBCODE CODE tags post contents of your config files for

• /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/nginx.conf
• /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/domain.com.conf and/or /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/domain.com.ssl.conf
  
• /usr/local/nginx/conf/botlimit.conf
• /usr/local/nginx/conf/blockbots.conf

You can mask your real domain name if you want in text editor just do a mass search and replace in the files.

Also post examples of how and what command you use to test and the output from those commands. Again use CODE tags for output

 

Thanks for sharing

edit: just had a closer look at this and very well scripted and developed ! I couldn't have done a better job myself if I had time so definitely checking it out as you have to change their default assumed paths as Centmin Mod uses different default nginx directory structure and there's a few manual changes needed to Centmin Mod nginx config files to get it working

 

where are you checking for 444 error ? in your access.log i.e. /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com/log/access.log ? Centmin Mod by default buffers log writes to memory for a certain amount of entries until the buffer is full and then is flushed and written to disk in access.log so you may need to restart nginx to flush the buffer to see access.log entry for 444 status

Yeah buffered access log writes is to improve Nginx performance

Glad to hear you resolved your issue
