Configuring the Firewall on Dedicated and VPS Servers

The firewall is managed from the server’s Firewall menu.

Rules

Use this menu to find, create and adjust your firewall rules.

If you have a number of rules, the rule placed highest will take precedence over the others.

Adding a rule

To add a rule, choose:

• the protocol: UDP or TCP,

• the type of rule: ACCEPT, DROP (reject without informing the sender) or REJECT,

• the direction: in our out,

• the relevant IP/hosts,

• the ports,

• The IP version.

Not putting anything in Hosts and Ports will enable the rule for all unless a higher rule states the opposite.

It is possible to give a label to your rules by using # <label>.

To allow your own IP address to never be blocked on any port you can create the following rules:

Bans

Here you will see the IP addresses currently banned and the services that they are banned from.

If you end up banned from a service, check this menu and delete your IP if it is banned and add the necessary rule.
