1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Network** .

For example, requests over `300` per minute to `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/raw/master/app/controllers/application_controller.rb` are blocked. Access to the raw file is released after 1 minute.

- Active by default. To disable, set the option to `0` .
Requests over the rate limit are logged into `auth.log` .
