Audit and protection of VPS (Nginx + PHP-FPM + Cloudflare) from scanning

Budget: 5000 UAH Deadline: 30 days

I will implement PHP-FPM pool isolation for each site and configure Cloudflare to block by ASN codes of data centers to cut off bots that imitate real users.

Will you provide direct SSH access to the server for configuring the ngx_http_limit_req_module and setting up automatic banning rules in fail2ban based on 404/403 patterns?

Budget and deadlines will be discussed in private correspondence.

✋ Hello! We are the IT company dZENcode.

We implement comprehensive protection and optimization of server infrastructure (Nginx + PHP-FPM + Cloudflare), aimed at eliminating the load from automated scans, stabilizing the operation of VPS, and maintaining correct indexing by search engines and availability for real users, relying on the experience of the team, best practices, and our own developments.

Do you have access to the complete access/error logs of Nginx and PHP-FPM for the period of load, to accurately identify the sources and patterns of scanning?
Are you currently using Cloudflare Bot Management or just the free Security Rules and Rate Limiting?

Hello!

Familiar situation, we will solve this problem "turnkey".

Since we are a European cloud provider and have our own servers in Poland, protecting e-commerce infrastructure and optimizing high loads is our daily expertise.

We are ready to connect and stabilize the operation of your VPS today. I am waiting for you in the chat to discuss the details — and we will immediately start working on the project!

Good evening. I can do it right now. I have been administering Linux servers for over 15 years. Feel free to contact me!

Good day. I was solving a similar issue. Only on the server was WP. I also deal with server configuration, setting up certificates, and other things.

Budget: 4000 UAH Deadline: 2 days

Hello! I am an individual developer with 4 years of experience in system administration and technical optimization of high-load projects, so I can quickly resolve the CPU issue on your VPS and set up multi-level bot protection. Since I currently do not have direct access to external Google documents, I am ready to follow a proven algorithm for CS-Cart: at the Cloudflare level, I will implement WAF rules to block requests to sensitive files (.env, .git, xmlrpc, etc.) and set up Challenge (JS/Managed) for suspicious traffic, and at the Nginx level, I will implement rate limiting and strict access restrictions to service directories to prevent them from reaching PHP-FPM and overloading the processor. My approach allows filtering out junk traffic while maintaining access for real clients and official search bots (Google, Bing) through Verified Bots verification; I work through a sole proprietorship, focused on the stability of your server and ready to review the text of the technical specification (if you send it here) for a final assessment.

Your problem with high load on PHP-FPM and scanning for vulnerable paths is a typical scenario for VPS servers with websites on CS-Cart. We have already solved similar tasks by configuring protection at the level of Cloudflare and Nginx to reduce server load and block unauthorized requests.

Our SDEV team specializes in optimizing infrastructure and server security. For your case, we will:
1. Conduct an audit of Nginx and Cloudflare configurations to identify the source of the load on PHP-FPM.
2. Set up Cloudflare rules (for example, rate-limiting, firewall rules) to block requests to .git, .env, phpinfo, and other vulnerable paths.
3. Optimize the Nginx configuration for quick responses to users and rejection of "fraudulent" requests.
4. Ensure that SEO bots are not blocked and real users do not experience changes.

An example of our similar case: we created a complex bot for monitoring cars, where it was necessary to ensure protection against scanning and optimize server load.
