I've scoured docs and Google for DDoS/security mechanisms, and hope I have the lay of the land. But I've not yet seen anything mentioned like HAProxy's tarpit/silent-drop mechanisms : https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/2.2/configuration.html#4.2-http-request%20tarpit ... blocks the request without responding for a delay specified ... https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/2.2/configuration.html#4.2-http-request%20silent-drop ... can resist much higher loads than "tarpit", and slow down stronger attackers. ... Does anyone have these kinds of countermeasures in play with squid ? [ I'm using squid 3.5.20 ] Thanks, ...jfree _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
