Django Gateway Interface

Overview

Django Gateway Interface is a Django application designed to provide a user-friendly web interface for configuring Nginx settings. This package enables users to easily manage gateway configurations, specifically to set request limits and block IP addresses at any endpoint for security purposes. It supports both Windows and Linux environments, allowing for seamless integration and efficient configuration management based on user input.
