What would make Apache give a Forbidden (You don't have permission to access /test.html on this server) error after trying to hit a URL too many times too fast? Its like its being rate throttled but its not. Then ~10 seconds like test.html is fine again. Unless I refresh the URL too many times too fast again. I get this in my apache log: [Fri Mar 24 23:36:24.675591 2017] [:error] [pid 1584] [client 103.244.242.161:55050] client denied by server configuration: /home/user/public_html/site.com/test.html Seems like a DoS protection feature which I like. Everything works well. I just need to know how to disable this for certain URLs. Anyone have a clue? I'm running cPanel v68.0.30 eith EasyApache4.

  Hello, I'm glad to see you were able to determine the cause of the issue. We document how to whitelist IP addresses with Mod_Evasive at: Apache Module: Evasive - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation Thank you.
