Hi, I have a Dedicated Server where the first Firewall rule is called allowme. It is a custom rule which seems to allow access to any TCP or UDP port and any IP address. I didn't set this rule up, it was (I assume) added by my ISP when I purchased the server. Is this bad practice and should I delete this rule?
I don't want to allow anyone except me to be able to upload anything via FTP and I obviously don't want any website on the server to no longer be viewable. If I set the SSH and FTP rules to only allow access to my IP address this has no effect. Is that because the first rule overrules everything else?
Is there a best practice for setting all the various firewall rules?
Thanks
