  • 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.

@emperor,

There is the "Apache way of doing things" and the possibility to change the Nginx binary, as has been suggested by IgorG.

What is your preference?

If you like to follow the Nginx method, please let me know: I will start testing a custom compilation of Nginx, including geoip module.

Regards.....
 
@emperor,

Please start a "conversation" (click on my name), so I can keep you up-to-date with respect of the development and testing of the custom Nginx binary.

Regards.....
 
Hate to dig up old threads, however this one is interesting. I've voted at https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/...suggestions/4173744-enable-nginx-geoip-module and added a possible use case, quoting:

"It'd be a great addition to the sw-nginx build. Enforcing rate limits is a must have these days and using ngx_http_geoip_module should be a very effective way to slow down the botnets' brute force attacks against commonly abused locations, like Wordpress/Joomla/Drupal or Magento login pages. A basic example:

limit_req_zone $geoip_country_code zone=geoipcountrycode:10m rate=5r/m;

location ~* (\/wp-login\.php|\/administrator) {
limit_req zone=geoipcountrycode burst=10;
proxy_pass http://real.serv.er:7080;
[...]"
