<span class="sd">&quot;&quot;&quot;Bot protection / IP rate limitation. The intention of rate limitation is to</span>
<span class="sd">limit suspicious requests from an IP. The motivation behind this is the fact</span>
<span class="sd">that SearXNG passes through requests from bots and is thus classified as a bot</span>
<span class="sd">itself. As a result, the SearXNG engine then receives a CAPTCHA or is blocked</span>
<span class="sd">by the search engine (the origin) in some other way.</span>
<span class="sd">To avoid blocking, the requests from bots to SearXNG must also be blocked, this</span>
<span class="sd">is the task of the limiter. To perform this task, the limiter uses the methods</span>
<span class="sd">from the :ref:`botdetection`:</span>
<span class="sd">- Analysis of the HTTP header in the request / :ref:`botdetection probe headers`</span>
<span class="sd"> can be easily bypassed.</span>
<span class="sd">- Block and pass lists in which IPs are listed / :ref:`botdetection ip_lists`</span>
<span class="sd"> are hard to maintain, since the IPs of bots are not all known and change over</span>
<span class="sd"> the time.</span>
<span class="sd">- Detection &amp; dynamically :ref:`botdetection rate limit` of bots based on the</span>
<span class="sd"> behavior of the requests. For dynamically changeable IP lists a Redis</span>
<span class="sd"> database is needed.</span>
<span class="sd">The prerequisite for IP based methods is the correct determination of the IP of</span>
<span class="sd">the client. The IP of the client is determined via the X-Forwarded-For_ HTTP</span>
<span class="sd">header.</span>
<span class="sd">.. attention::</span>
<span class="sd"> A correct setup of the HTTP request headers ``X-Forwarded-For`` and</span>
<span class="sd"> ``X-Real-IP`` is essential to be able to assign a request to an IP correctly:</span>
<span class="sd"> - `NGINX RequestHeader`_</span>
<span class="sd"> - `Apache RequestHeader`_</span>
<span class="sd">.. _X-Forwarded-For:</span>
<span class="sd"> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For</span>
<span class="sd">.. _NGINX RequestHeader:</span>
<span class="sd"> https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation-nginx.html#nginx-s-searxng-site</span>
<span class="sd">.. _Apache RequestHeader:</span>
<span class="sd"> https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation-apache.html#apache-s-searxng-site</span>
<span class="sd">Enable Limiter</span>
<span class="sd">==============</span>
<span class="sd">To enable the limiter activate:</span>
<span class="sd">.. code:: yaml</span>
<span class="sd"> server:</span>
<span class="sd"> ...</span>
<span class="sd"> limiter: true # rate limit the number of request on the instance, block some bots</span>
<span class="sd">and set the redis-url connection. Check the value, it depends on your redis DB</span>
<span class="sd">(see :ref:`settings redis`), by example:</span>
<span class="sd">.. code:: yaml</span>
<span class="sd"> redis:</span>
<span class="sd"> url: unix:///usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock?db=0</span>
<span class="sd">Configure Limiter</span>
<span class="sd">=================</span>
<span class="sd">The methods of :ref:`botdetection` the limiter uses are configured in a local</span>
<span class="sd">file ``/etc/searxng/limiter.toml``. The defaults are shown in limiter.toml_ /</span>
<span class="sd">Don&#39;t copy all values to your local configuration, just enable what you need by</span>
<span class="sd">overwriting the defaults. For instance to activate the ``link_token`` method in</span>
<span class="sd">the :ref:`botdetection.ip_limit` you only need to set this option to ``true``:</span>
<span class="sd">.. code:: toml</span>
<span class="sd"> [botdetection.ip_limit]</span>
<span class="sd"> link_token = true</span>
<span class="sd">.. _limiter.toml:</span>
<span class="sd">``limiter.toml``</span>
<span class="sd">================</span>
<span class="sd">In this file the limiter finds the configuration of the :ref:`botdetection`:</span>
<span class="sd">- :ref:`botdetection ip_lists`</span>
<span class="sd">- :ref:`botdetection rate limit`</span>
<span class="sd">- :ref:`botdetection probe headers`</span>
