The ModSecurity-nginx connector is the connection point between Nginx and libmodsecurity (ModSecurity v3). Said another way, this project provides a communication channel between Nginx and libmodsecurity. This connector is required to use LibModSecurity with Nginx. The ModSecurity-nginx connector takes the form of an Nginx module. The module simply serves as a layer of communication between Nginx and ModSecurity. Notice that this project depends on libmodsecurity rather than ModSecurity (version 2.9 or less).
