Question Rate limiting on Ngnix

[Html]

How do I use Ngnix rate limits?

limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=mylimit:10m rate=10r/s;
server {
    location /login/ {
        limit_req zone=mylimit;
        proxy_pass http://my_upstream;
    }
}

in the additional Nginx directive of Plesk???
I just tried this...

Server directory is not allowed here...

How should I use this properly?

Thanks for the info. But i would prefer to limit the requests per second for single IP address.

I cant understand, why of a question the user shull open a login form? He was logged in, otherwise he cant write! More interessting is, why a feature, they is written in Nginx documentation in 2017 on page nginx - blog rate-limiting-nginx in plesk in the newest version of plesk in the year 2020 (so 3 years later) not function?
Equal many times plesk offer a high security, but this not given! Today many users have change to newest php versions and to nginx, but nothing is done in punto security in plesk, but nginx can handle many of this features, but they cant set in plesk and btw all scripts for fail2ban and nginx are missing too! So server admins, they change their users from apache to nginx shut of the security, the in apache before exists!

There is no build-in functionality in Plesk to limit download speed for website files in Plesk. As a workaround, it can be performed by adding the additional directives for corresponding services. In this instruction download speed will be limited to the 350 Kb/s.

If static files are served by Nginx:

Note: this instruction should be used if Serve static files directly by nginx is enabled, or Proxy mode is disabled in Domains > example.com > Apache & nginx Settings.

1. Go to Domains > example.com > Apache & nginx Settings.
2. Add one of the configurations below into the Additional nginx directives field:
   • To limit download speed for the whole website:
     

     limit_rate 350k;

   • To limit download speed for all files in downloads folder and all its subfolders:
     

     location /downloads {
     limit_rate 350k;
     }

3. Press the OK button to apply changes.

Hi Igor,
Thanks!
Can you please advise regarding the rate requested which is requests per time:
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=mylimit:10m rate=10r/s;

As in:
Module ngx_http_limit_req_module
NGINX Rate Limiting

You can't use limit_req_zone nginx module in Plesk, but you can vote for this feature here Make possible to manage limit_req_zone for nginx

The nginx limit_req directive can be included at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf inside http block.

http {
........

    limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=mylimit:10m rate=10r/s;
..........   
}

Then, the limit_"req zone=mylimit;" can be included in the plesk Additional nginx directives at proper location

    location /login/ {
        limit_req zone=mylimit;
    }

@Paulo_o your solution makes sense. But, will it be discarded upon Plesk version updates? If true, this will trigger an error when it happens. I believe there's a reason why @IgorG asked for a vote
