How can I prevent unwanted GET requests with URLs added to parameters










1















I have a small ecommerce site, (LEMP stack) and I had used a route like



my.domain.com/makecart?return_url=....



as a means of returning to a point in the previous page to assist selection for the cart.



Over a period of months I started getting thousands of GET requests with unwanted domain links appended to the ?return_url parameter.



I have now reprogrammed this route without the use of any parameters, but my site is still getting the unwanted hits.



e.g. 76.175.182.173 - - [14/Nov/2018:19:36:08 +0000] "GET /makecart?return_url=http://www.nailartdeltona.com/ HTTP/1.0" 302 364 "http://danielcraig.2bb.ru/click.php


I am redirecting such requests to an error page, and have it 'under control' with fail2ban but I am gradually filling up memory with banning information.



Is there a way to prevent these hits before they are plucked back out of the access log?



Furthermore what are they doing anyway?
