Under "Administrator Setting", Tab "Security" (Security Settings), there are 2 options to "Blacklist IPs for excessive login attempts":
1. login attempts, and 2nd. "unauthorized connections". They were for HTTP/1 and browsers with 2,4,6 or 8 parallel connections, and a limit from 100 connections was set as standard. Thats all clear and makes sense.

But now with newer browsers and HTTP/2 and /3, those previous connections are now switched to something called "Streams", and the browsers open easely 100 of such streams, whereas it seems to me, that those "streams" are still only one connection (correct me please if i am wrong).

Now the question is: are those streams counted as connections? Because if yes, then the standard limit from 100 is much too less. Or are those different things, and connections remains connections, no matter how many "streams" run per connection?

Thanks for any clarification!
