README
Overview
The Hryvinskyi_BotBlocker module is designed to enhance your Magento 2 store's security by tracking and blocking IP addresses that exceed a specified request limit within a defined timeframe. This module allows you to configure the blocking threshold, timeframe, and a whitelist of IP addresses.
Installation
To install the Hryvinskyi_BotBlocker module, follow these steps:
- Copy the module files to your Magento 2 installation.
- Run the following commands in your Magento 2 root directory:
php bin/magento module:enable Hryvinskyi_BotBlocker php bin/magento setup:upgrade php bin/magento cache:clean
Configuration
You can configure the behavior of the Hryvinskyi_BotBlocker module through the Magento Admin Panel under Stores > Configuration -> Hryvinskyi Extensions > Bot Blocker.
. The module allows you to customize the following settings:
- Threshold: Set the maximum number of requests an IP address can make within a specified timeframe before it is blocked.
- Timeframe: Define the time window during which the threshold count is calculated.
- Whitelist: Specify a list of IP addresses that should be exempt from the blocking rules.
- Storage Method: Choose where to store the tracking data, either in Redis or in MySQL.
Usage
The Hryvinskyi_BotBlocker module tracks and blocks IP addresses based on the configuration you set. Here's how it works:
- When an IP address makes a request to your website, the module tracks the request count and the time of the first request.
- If the request count exceeds the configured threshold within the specified timeframe, the IP address is blocked.
- IP addresses on the whitelist are exempt from being blocked.
Extensibility
As a developer, you can extend and customize the behavior of the Hryvinskyi_BotBlocker module. You may override the functionality of the module by interacting with its codebase. For more information, refer to the Magento extension mechanism.
