When using HAProxy’s stick-table rate limiting feature to protect from bots, how does this impact people coming from large shared IP networks?
For example, college campuses networks that use one or few shared IPs.
If a number of college students on that same shared IP network accessed the HAProxy bot protected stick-table website, would HAProxy detect these legit site visitors as a single IP client & take mitigation action against them based on the rate limiting settings? Or would they properly be detected as legit individual website visitors despite being on the same IP?
