This tracking enables to track all connections from a single IP addresses to the server. The tracking counts the total number of connections and if the total number of connections is greater than prescribed value (200 for Host Mayo) then the offending IP address is blocked. It helps to mitigate some type of DOS attacks and even brute forcing.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The con of this option is that if it is set too low there may be some false positive. Thats why we have selected it above the normal range used by other populat hosts like Godaddy, Blue host etc. <a href=\"https:\/\/hostmayo.com\/blog\/limits-on-hosting-by-different-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read full comparison of our hardware resource with other hosts here.<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment\">Some protocols like FTP, IMAPD and HTTP are connection hungry so they can trigger this limit quite easily specially where there are a lot of closed connections in TIME_WAIT. On the contrast, a server that is prone to DOS attacks, limiting connections per ip is quite useful.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment\">A more reasonable setting for this option is around 300 if the server is not commercial.<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment\">For commercial server the normal limit is 150 with some hosts going up to 300.<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hostmayo.com\/web-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Host Mayo shared web hosting<\/a> has adopted a moderate choice and has upgraded their connection tracking limit from 150 to 200 just to avoid any false positive.<\/p>\n<p>We use <a href=\"https:\/\/configserver.com\/cp\/csf.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">ConfigServer Security &amp; Firewall\u00a0<\/span><\/a> to track connection.
