  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Issue Windows Firewall Blocked all IP Accidentally

New Pleskian
Hi,

We have a Godaddy Server running Windows 2012. It is accessible through Remote Desktop and Plesk.

We are getting a lot of brute force attacks on the MSSQL server. Going through the forums, we found that we can create inbound rule on the firewall to block the IP's.

When blocking the IP's, accidentally "Any IP Address" option was clicked.

This blocked all the access to the remote desktop, and all our websites on the server became unavailable.

We contacted Godaddy, and they disabled the windows firewall service to restore the access.

If we activate the firewall service now, it also activates the block all IP rule and closes all access to the remote server.

If I try to access Firewall from Plesk, it just says "Operation Failed".

How do I delete the rule so that we can restart the firewall?
