A bedrock module that adds HTTP(S) request limiting to bedrock-express to, for example, help mitigate DoS attacks.

bedrock-request-limiter is built using redback.

Requirements

Quick Examples

npm install bedrock-request-limiter

Request limiting is controlled via the configuration system; simply include bedrock-request-limiter and set the maximum number of requests per IP per hour to allow.

var bedrock = require('bedrock');
 
require('bedrock-server');
require('bedrock-express');
require('bedrock-request-limiter');
 
// limit number of requests per hour per IP address (0 means no limit)
bedrock.config.limiter.ipRequestsPerHour = 3600;
 
bedrock.start();
