• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Port 53 DNS DDOS

KrazyBob

Regular Pleskian
My Firebox X8000 is showing line after kine after line of three servers out of over 100

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 208.67.222.222 dns/udp 1-Trusted 0-External denial of service attack, drop this packet.

I cannot find any setting in Plesk that will.l stop this. Running lsof -i :53 shows me that every IP assigned to the server is pinging out. Webalizer appears to also be running, as if doing a hostname lookup. I did not set this in Webalizer and don't know how to check or turn it off.

How do I stop my irewall from rejecting DNS outbound as a ddos when it is legitimate traffic? If Webalizer is ausing this, how and where do I turn it off. I recall that Webalizer has a setting just as AWStats does for full hostname lookup.
