I am contemplating the installation of the Plesk Firewall extension, where I can see that Policies and Rules can be set as to restrict access to a server based on IP.
Firstly, what is the difference between restricting access by IP within 'Plesk's Firewall Extension' and within 'Tools & Settings > Restrict Administrative Access'? Would I be right in thinking that the latter simply restricts access to Plesk only while the former restricts multiple methods of access (Therefore, via Plesk and SSH etc)?
Secondly, I am worried I may be 'locked out' of the server. Ideally, I would like to restrict all access to a specific IP address. In the event that my IP changes (The need to restart Router for example), what would be the situation then? Am I right in thinking I would be locked out of the server completely or have I misunderstood Plesk's Firewall extension here?
