    Following the fix in #10547 that raised the ipset limit to 262,144 elements, we ran into the next bottleneck: the nginx client_max_body_size 2m on the /api/ location in the dashboard config prevents actually reaching anywhere near that element count via the API.

    In /home/yellowtent/platformdata/nginx/applications/dashboard/<hostname>.conf:

    location /api/ {
        proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1:3000;
        client_max_body_size 2m;   ← limits POST body to ~86k entries
    }
    

    At ~23 bytes per entry (JSON-encoded), 2MB caps the blocklist at roughly 86,000 entries — well below the 262k ipset capacity. Anything larger returns HTTP 413.

    Workaround: changing 2m to 10m in that location block fixes it immediately.

    Request: could this limit be raised (or set to 0) in a future Cloudron release? Given the server-level client_max_body_size 0 already applies to all app traffic, the 2m restriction on /api/ seems overly conservative for the network blocklist endpoint.

      Hello @imc67
      Thanks for the report.
      Can you give me that JSON object so I can use it for testing?
      Maybe via. paste.cloudron.io?
