How to block IP's from my server

[AlfieG]

Hi There,

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post thing, but I hope someone can help me.

I am currently running a virtual server, and over the past couple days have had a number of brute attacks from Chinese and Indian based IP's which have been marked in my logs and trying to break in, this has pulled my websites down with the server load.

I am trying to, in the Firewall settings, add the IP's to a block list, however am unable to see where this can be configured.

Can anyone assist, or help me work it out?

Many thanks,

Are you running Plesk 12?

If you are, install Fail2Ban and Apache Web Application Firewall.

Plesk -> Tools & Settings -> Updates & Upgrades -> Add/Remove Components

Hope it helps

Kind regards
