  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Bandwidth settings in the domain settings

I have a question concerning the bandwidth limiting settings in Plesk in the domain settings.

I didn't find any information whether these settings are per client (i.e. IP) or for every access to the domain summed up.

For example, when I set a limit of 10 connections, are there 10 connections free for every single client or 10 connections for the complete domain?

And what happens when more than X connections are established? Do the users get an error message or is the page just slow?

What are optimum values for both options?

I want to use these settings as a DDoS protection, because my server is attacked at this moment.
 
Bandwidth settings are installed only per domain, not IP.

>For example, when I set a limit of 10 connections
It means that domain allows only 10 connections, any connection over allowed, will be rejected with following error:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
<html><head>
<title>510 Not Extended</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Extended</h1>
<p>A mandatory extension policy in the request is not
accepted by the server for this resource.</p>
<hr>
-----------------------------------------------------------------

>optimum values
it depend only on your server

NOTE: if set 'connections limiting' U should also specify 'bandwidth limiting' otherwise connect limitation will be ignored
