var store = new PgStore({
	host: '127.0.0.1',
	database: 'sandbox',
	username: 'appuser',
	password: 'password'
});

var bruteforce = new ExpressBrute(store);

app.post('/auth',
	bruteforce.prevent, // error 403 if we hit this route too often
	function (req, res, next) {
		res.send('Success!');
	}
);
