mod_dosevasive - default settings too strict?
Hi,
I recently installed mod_dosevasive, and left the settings as default. This was thus as follows:
Code:DOSHashTableSize 3097 DOSPageCount 5 DOSSiteCount 100 DOSPageInterval 2 DOSSiteInterval 2 DOSBlockingPeriod 10 DOSBlockingPeriod 600
Could anyone please advise as to better settings for mod_dosevasive? Does anyone have the module installed on their servers, and have no problems with customers getting locked out, while still preventing any actual flooding attacks?
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

That config usually works but if you are having trouble just up the limits. Set the PAgeCount to say 10 or maybe 15. The SiteCoun should be fine.

that configuration can lock people out of doing things like vBB counter updates.
eg. they click update counters for 1200 posts 100 posts done and it refreshes page on the 6th refresh they will get blocked.
