ConvertVP
v2.1 is a fully featured, configurable,
and streamlined Apache module that
allows you to fine tune web surfers
access to your content. It has been
carefully developed to provide the
finest grain of access protection
while minimizing its foot print on
your server. Read below to see all
of its features and how you can decrease
your bandwidth bills by using ConvertVP:
|
|
| Feature |
Benefit |
| Programmed
in C w/ Apache API |
| The Apache Module is
coded entirely in C which
gives the code the smallest
foot print possible and
doesnt require any bulky
compilers to execute.
In addition it uses the
Apache API extensively
to integrate seamlessly
into the regular Apache
execution cycle and prevent
memory leaks by using
native Apache memory allocation
procedures. The code has
been tested to be faster
than similar protection
schemes that function
on Perl/CGI, php, or mod_rewrite.
During tests on servers
with 20-40Mbps of traffic
there was no significant
change in load (less than
.05). |
|
| Highly
Configurable |
| Because Convert VP is
an Apache Module coded
with the Apache API it
is configured inside of
native Apache configurations,
such as httpd.conf and
even .htaccess. Furthermore,
fine grained control is
possible as it supports
all native Apache configuration
directives such as <VirtualHost>,
<Location>, <Directory>,
and <Files>. |
|
| No
User Side Requirements |
| Often times similar
protection schemes require
that end users either
have Javascript enabled
or cookies enabled for
the software to function.
ConvertVP works entirely
server side and does not
require either Javascript
or Cookies to be enabled.
Thus, valid users are
not rejected based on
their browsing preferences.
|
|
| Redirect
Traffic |
| Not only will you be
lowering your bandwidth
bills by denying access
to users who seek to abuse
your hosting, but you
can also redirect them
to any URL of your choice,
making the traffic productive. |
