Issue OpenVPN and firewall on Linux

[AmaZili Communication]

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 to the panel thru VPN connection, and it is not compatible with smartphone (no support for tun).

I then installed from Linux (centos7) command line a complete openvpn, then configured Iptables, and get it to work fine. I managed to get access from one unplanned IP to my Plesk panel.

HOWEVER, I then went into the Plesk and had a look at the Plesk firewall rules, and all my iptables manually entered vanished with the effect that I cannot get access to the panel from unplanned IP's.


Is there a simple solution to manage a protected Plesk onyx panel trough a smartphone VPN protected connection?


Thanks.


Philippe

What about OpenVPN and Plesk Mobile application for smartphones?

Hi @IgorG,

Openvpn use dev tun only on android which is not supported by Plesk openvpn implementation.

Have you tried to use non-Plesk OpenVPN implementation? Something like

# wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn-install.sh && bash openvpn-install.sh

@IgorG

Yes, tried it, it works fine BUT the issue is with the firewall, it blocks the access to the plesk panel and I can't find a way to set it up from within Plesk.
I succeeded with iptables commands from the command line, but Plesk keeps resetting them :-(

I used this : https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...p-and-configure-an-openvpn-server-on-centos-7

@Larsm you can try this method :

But you will probably be stuck like us with firewall problems.

May be you will find how to go further
