Description

I have multiple ipsets the /24 is having around 50k entries. I was thinking of not dropping or rejecting this traffic. But redirecting it to a page. Sort of what cloudflare is doing.
I thought maybe a good performing if eg iptables could mark traffic and mod_security could use that in their rules. Or maybe even better, have mod_security access ipsets directly?

I have the impression this does not exist yet, is there maybe an alternative I don't know about?
