iptables

I have personally not that much interest in fail2ban. I've written something like that some 8 years ago myself without ever hearing of fail2ban. What I wrote then is similar to what fail2ban is doing now. I'm writing my iptables rules directly in a file and it's loaded automatically if the...

I have plesk Onyx 17.5.3 installed on a Centos 7.3.1611. I tried to use plesk firewall extension to secure the server, so I disabled firewalld and issued: service psa-firewall start which gives me a succes message. However, when checking the iptables rules, I only found the three policies (INPUT...

Some users have been using Wordfence to protect their sites. It detects nasty people trying to hack into other people's network. I thought of harvesting these IP's and wrote a script that collects these and use them in iptables. Each hour it scans all the WordPress sites on my server and adds...

Hello, I recently migrated my VPS from Plesk 12 to Plesk Onyx (I am now running Plesk Onyx v17.0.17 update #21 on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS). I have a number of custom rules in iptables and, previously, I just had iptables-persistent installed - it was auto loading on reboot iptables stored in...

I'm attempting to create an additional database server on port 3307, although because the port apparently doesn't open after creating another firewall rule specifically for it the database server cannot be created. I checked the port via nmap and it appears the firewall rule does not...

Hi, I need to firewall the access to the Plesk onyx panel. I also need to access it from changing remote places and using a smartphone, so different IP's. The solution seems to be using a VPN. I started to install and configure the Plesk VPN add-on, but it seems it does not allow access...

Hi there, i have one question. I have a user who is always banned by Fail2Ban from Plesk. I have to unlock the IP manually everytime. Can someone tell me how this could happend? Attached a screenshot from my Analytics. This is the user who is locked permanently. His IP is changing every...

Hello, the saga on this continues, but I have some new information. To summarize, after system reboot, the iptables rules are not kept and some default version is loaded (causing websites to be unavailable, 504 nginx timeout). I am obliged to go to the Plesk FW runles, disable them and re-enable...

I have Ubuntu server with Plesk 12.5.30 A second IP was added to my server on eth0. To my alarm Plesk only offers firewall on the whole interface or am I missing something simple? It allows you to set rules from an IP, but I assume that means an external IP, not one of the IPs of the...

Hello, already searched through the Boards/Manual - but did NOT find any official Statement about this Topic?! Can I use firewalld with Plesk 12 installed on Centos 7 or do I need to deactivate it? And how to get fail2ban running on Centos 7 when I have to disable firewalld? Thx 4 Info Andreas...

I was happily running a vServer with plesk on ubuntu 12.04 LTS. 2 days ago I upgraded plesk from 12.0 to 12.5.30. Since then I see frequent restarts of the fail2ban service (around every other 4 hours) /var/log/fail2ban.log shows errors from iptables like: ERROR iptables -D INPUT -p tcp -j...
