• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Installing snort inline

madadam

Basic Pleskian
Has anyone had any success or can anyone offer advice on installing snort in inline mode on a server running Plesk 8.2 with the firewall module?

From the snort docs:

In order for Snort Inline to work properly, you must download and compile the iptables code to include ``make install-devel'' (http://www.iptables.org). This will install the libipq library that allows Snort Inline to interface with iptables. Also, you must build and install LibNet, which is available from http://www.packetfactory.net.

iptables 1.3.0-2 is installed with Plesk 8.2.1, but is LibNet / snort compatible with the Plesk firewall module? Are there any known issues?
 
The PSA firewall overwrites your firewall options with its own, I would highly recomend not using it if you intend on using programs that manipulate iptables.
