Hi team,
I’m looking for a mechanism to block the IP addresses on an incremental time block upon too many request.
- If a user sends 7-10 HTTP Requests in a second the IP should be blocked from accessing my server for 10 mins, again if it violates it should be blocked for 15 mins, 20 mins and so on.
Rather than using an application in server level like Fail2Ban. Can we do it from digital ocean console ?
Regards Karthik. K

While this is not something that can be done through our control panel, it can be accomplished by using the built-in functionality of NGINX or using mod_ratelimit on Apache.
Apache https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_ratelimit.html
NGINX http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_limit_req_module.html
Additionally, there are third-party services, such as CloudFlare, which can provide more advanced options.
I’m new and not 100% familiar with what you’re looking for but I limit my ssh and a few other ports with the limit option in the firewall.
Example if I wanted to limit standard ssh I would do it like this:
sudo ufw limit ssh/tcp
or
sudo ufw limit 22/tcp
Both will limit port 22.
