In reply to Hung.

@Hung,

Thanks, corrected in the article…

Please update this:

Server_tokens        off;  --> server_tokens        off;

The [S]erver must be lower case [s]erver.

Hi, Thanks for your post, highly appreciated. Have an issue when running nginx -t to validate the configuration and send me the next error message:

nginx: [emerg] "map" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/blockuseragents.rules:1
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Any recommendations to jump this hurdle? Best Regards

if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD|POST)$) {
   return 444;
}

is it Nginx default config, right? If not, where it's place to add?

anyone know how to create rewrite rules below from apache to nginx?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/([^\.]+)/?$ index.php?route=$1&sub=$2 [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/?$ index.php?route=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
