6.4.3 Activating the Anti-Attack Feature
To get to the Anti-Attack settings of the WebMux, hover the mouse over the security menu
on top and then click on the AAD link.
You will see this screen:
TCP Connection Attack Threshold:
This will set the maximum number of concurrent connection a client can make before the
WebMux will consider it an attack. You do not want to set this value too low because most of
time servers will experience several concurrent connections during normal operations.
Usually a DoS or DDoS connection attack comes in by the hundreds. Set this value according
to your needs.
Client Whitelist for TCP Attacks:
It may be necessary to allow certain IPs to make connections that may appear to be attacks.
For example, if you have a third party company that regularly benchmarks your services for
maximum load handling, you will need to allow that company uninterrupted access. You can
use a specific IP address or specify a network range (i.e. xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24). Separate each
entry with a colon (:).
