Hi all,
I've noticed that my server has a lot of syn_recv connections no matter what I do. I've changed the configuration to mitigate that with syn_cookies etc but no luck.
Could that in any way be related to mpm prefork's settings? That's the only thing that I haven't touched.
Thanks in advance |

| Which OS? On my Redhat/Centos6 servers I have a few firewall rules to limit SYN connections. |

connlimit or just a limit 5/minute.
Read this post and the comments:
http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/prevent-dos-with-iptables/
Do a search for '-syn' on that page.
My rules:
| Code: | /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn -m limit --limit 5/minute -j LOG \
--log-prefix "Firewalled packet:"
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --syn -m limit --limit 5/minute -j LOG \
--log-prefix "Firewalled packet:"
