Could it be that the slight delay between opening this page and my browser receiving the first bytes is nginx checking these 50 million IPs? How is this delay so small if there are really 50 million deny statements? Is there a reason why they don't use a firewall? |

More a testament to the years of optimization nginx has undergone.

Some other comment said they have a custom error page for blocked requests although I think you could still have the firewall rewrite the destination port and have a listener that serves the custom access denied page there.
