Introduction

The ngx_cookie_limit_req_module module not only limits the access rate of cookies but also limits the number of malicious ip forged cookies.

The developers work tirelessly to improve and develop ngx_cookie_limit_req_module. Many hours have been put in to provide the software as it is today, but this is an extremely time-consuming process with no financial reward. If you enjoy using the software, please consider donating to the devs, so they can spend more time implementing improvements.
