		ck2 on Nov 9, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to get your IP unbanned on HN Good thing you left that 1% ;-) `Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)` XT_CONNLIMIT does miracles for apache especially. Actually looks like I am wrong. Static objects are coming from Amazon while dynamic are coming from another server @theplanet.com `Apache/2.2.19 (FreeBSD)` So you are right, it's FreeBSB, but it's still Apache which really needs connection throttling. But there might be a reverse proxy in place. You can also IP throttle with a module in nginx.

They also should upgrade Apache as there's a known vulnerability with pre-2.2.20 versions that leaves Apache open to an easy DoS attack.
