Does OLS capable of mitigating Layer 7 type of attacks?

[RoldanLT]

Like LiteSpeed Enterprise did.
I mean DOS/DDOS layer 7 attacks that target usually PHP/MYSQL and the web server.
With LEMP setup, usually PHP-FPM crash or die.

Hi RoldanLT,

OLS's anti DoS is the same as Enterprise, however, it does not have a mod_security engine yet.

You can view the differences here.

Please, don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have, we are always happy to help,

What does this feature do? capable of?

Hi RoldanLT,

Essentially, a mod security engine would allow the server to filter requests based on a rule set. If the request is a bad/dangerous request, it is denied.

Here's a link to their site.
