Question How to turn off PLESK firewall from CLI

[Kurt Ludikovsky]

Server operating system version

Debian

Plesk version and microupdate number

Version 18.0.44 Update #3

Obsidian 18.044.3

How can I turn off the PLESK firewall from the CLI?

For what ever reason my VPS blocks anny connections to the server. I can only access it via the control panel. So Id like to shutdown the FW so that I can access the server.


There is no process fire* or ufw running.

systemctl status firewalld
systemctl status firewalld.service

both return

Unit firewalld.service could not be found.

ChatGPT Solution:

iptables -F

solved it (until next reboot).

Hi, @Kurt Ludikovsky.
Probably this could help:

plesk ext firewall --disable

IIRC for Obsidian 18.0.44 the firewall service is called psa-firewall.

Hi, @Kurt Ludikovsky.
Probably this could help:

plesk ext firewall --disable

Result:

The support for the command-line interface is not implemented in firewall.

exit status 1

But anyhow thanks.

# plesk ext psa-firewall --help
The extension psa-firewall is not installed.

exit status 1

But also thanks.

Does your provider use a firewall in front of the VPS? You should be able to see that in the provider's dashboard.
