txAdmin protection

txAdmin is a web page: it can be hit by HTTP attacks (thousands of requests per second). The txAdmin tab on the Anti-DDoS page shows how it is protected.

1. Active settings:

   • the protected IP and state (Filtered)
   • the profile (e.g. Hard)
   • options: geo-filtering, JavaScript challenge, blocking automated tools like curl, txAdmin patch

   To change them, contact support

2. Counters: status, allowed requests, blocked requests and block rate

Further down:

• Requests per minute: allowed (green) and blocked (red) requests over the last 30 minutes
• Live feed: the last 10 requests received, with time, status, method, path and block reason
• Attacks on txAdmin: past HTTP attacks, with duration, blocked requests, peak and number of IPs

Attack details

Click an attack in the Attacks on txAdmin list to show its details:

1. Chart: blocked (red) and allowed (green) requests per second during the attack, with the summary (requests, blocked, peak, volume, number of IPs)
2. Countries: where requests came from
3. Source IPs: addresses that sent the most requests
4. Block reasons: why requests were blocked (suspicious headers, rate limit…)
5. Targeted paths: pages targeted

I can’t open txAdmin anymore

If your browser is blocked by mistake, open txAdmin in a new tab (not an embedded frame) and disable extensions that alter requests. To avoid the issue, restrict txAdmin to your IPs.
