hi,

ok. i set some settings and i tried red lining some of the values for what i thought they should be. i can ddos my site with three ips making requests.....maybe you can provide some values in here that find work good?

i have tried playing with each setting listed in that link and nothing seems to work.

hi,

also if you think your configuration is good maybe i can try and ddos your server for like 5 seconds to see if my ddos is to good for this software.

you probably won't go for this though.

Some features like request rate limits are only available for enterprise license.

so does that mean that 3 machines can take down the server? give me the bottom line here. do i need an enterprise edition to stop a ddos or what?

i have been putzing around with this because there is next to no solid "your new to this" documentation. i have called and tried to get a simple answer as to whether is really installed or not and i can't seem to even get an answer as to know definitely if its installed and working in place of apache.

im about 2 steps from giving up and saying F it as i have spent 20 hours on this already.

what do i have to do to ddos proof my server.

When properly configured, 3 machine cannot take down the server.
For best DDoS protection, please apply a trial key of LSWS enterprise.
Besides LSWS configuration, your linux kernel need to be configured properly as well.

hi,
what kind of attack will it withstand? will it withstand a moderate one?
thanks,
