If there are to many requests in a sliding window, the request is evaluated as a bot request. This method requires a redis DB and needs a HTTP X-Forwarded-For_ header. To take privacy only the hash value of an IP is stored in the redis DB and at least for a maximum of 10 minutes. The :py:obj:`.link_token` method can be used to investigate whether a request is *suspicious*. To activate the :py:obj:`.link_token` method in the :py:obj:`.ip_limit` method add the following to your ``/etc/searxng/limiter.toml``: .. code:: toml [botdetection.ip_limit] link_token = true If the :py:obj:`.link_token` method is activated and a request is *suspicious* the request rates are reduced: - :py:obj:`BURST_MAX` -> :py:obj:`BURST_MAX_SUSPICIOUS` - :py:obj:`LONG_MAX` -> :py:obj:`LONG_MAX_SUSPICIOUS` To intercept bots that get their IPs from a range of IPs, there is a :py:obj:`SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW`. In this window the suspicious IPs are stored for a longer time. IPs stored in this sliding window have a maximum of :py:obj:`SUSPICIOUS_IP_MAX` accesses before they are blocked. As soon as the IP makes a request that is not suspicious, the sliding window for this IP is dropped. .. _X-Forwarded-For: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For """ from __future__ import annotations from ipaddress import ( IPv4Network, IPv6Network, ) import flask import werkzeug from searx.tools import config from searx import redisdb from searx.redislib import incr_sliding_window, drop_counter from . import link_token from ._helpers import ( too_many_requests, logger, ) logger = logger.getChild('ip_limit') BURST_WINDOW = 20 """Time (sec) before sliding window for *burst* requests expires."""
