Is there a later version of mod_evasive that's happy to use firewalld? It's the new default and I don't really want to have to revert back to iptables as the world moves to firewalld.

This most likely wouldn’t work on an AWS EC2 instance as typically you use the AWS Security Groups to restrict ports instead of the host-based firewall.

Hello,

I followed the article and mod_evasive works perfectly if my site configured at 80 port with 443 port the mod_evasive does not work.

Any Idea?

I am running CentOS 7
Thank you

In reply to Robert Kudyba.

@Robert,

I think it should work if you remove firewalld and nftables and install iptables as shown in the article.
