Hi, this week I got a lot of attack which was on the below path:

2025/01/12 15:02:08 [error] 762#762: *1768584 openat() "/usr/local/apache/autossl_tmp/.well-known/acme-challenge/ALFA_DATA/alfacgiapi/bash.alfa" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 68.183.234.75, server: mysite.com, request: "GET /.well-known/pki-validation/ALFA_DATA/alfacgiapi/bash.alfa HTTP/2.0", host: "www.mysite.com"

and they trying to redirecting the website on which one they want, as well there was a huge DDoS attack on same path.

kindly advice me on how can make it secure the centos 7 with cwp please.

I put a scenario below for some security step :

edit htaccess file on the root by:

# Disable directory browsing
Options -Indexes

# Allow access to the necessary files (Let's Encrypt challenge files)
<Files "^.*\.(wP7FYuLdR7qk-y\hj.txt)$">
    Require all granted
</Files>

# Block all other files and access
<Files "*">
    Require all denied
</Files>

# Allow access from the Let's Encrypt IP addresses (source: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge-types/#http-01-challenge)
Require ip 204.2.147.196/32
Require ip 54.86.189.80/32
Require ip 52.41.92.181/32
Require ip 52.44.188.73/32
Require ip 52.204.133.74/32

if you know a better a secure solution kindly advice it here.
