Normalize reST sources with best practice and KISS in mind. to name a few points: - simplify reST tables - make use of ``literal`` markup for monospace rendering - fix code-blocks for better rendering in HTML - normalize section header markup - limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters - add option -H to the sudo command used in code blocks - drop useless indentation of lists - ...

How to protect an instance
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Searx depens on external search services. To avoid the abuse of these services
|
|
it is advised to limit the number of requests processed by searx.
|
|
|
|
An application firewall, ``filtron`` solves exactly this problem. Information
|
|
on how to install it can be found at the `project page of filtron
|
|
<https://github.com/asciimoo/filtron>`__.
|

Sample configuration of filtron
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
An example configuration can be find below. This configuration limits the access
|
|
of:
|
|
|
|
- scripts or applications (roboagent limit)
|
|
- webcrawlers (botlimit)
|
|
- IPs which send too many requests (IP limit)
|
|
- too many json, csv, etc. requests (rss/json limit)
|
|
- the same UserAgent of if too many requests (useragent limit)
|
|

Route request through filtron
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Filtron can be started using the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sh
|
|
|
|
$ filtron -rules rules.json
|
|
|
|
It listens on ``127.0.0.1:4004`` and forwards filtered requests to
|
|
``127.0.0.1:8888`` by default.
|
|
|
|
Use it along with ``nginx`` with the following example configuration.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: nginx
|
|
|
|
location / {
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
|
|
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4004/;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Requests are coming from port 4004 going through filtron and then forwarded to
|
|
port 8888 where a searx is being run.
