Barracuda Spam Firewall 600 Question
Dec 24, 2007Does anyone know what are the limits as far as simultaneous connections on a Barracuda 600 Spam Firewall box are?
The data-sheet is elusive to this.

Anti-spam Appliance - Barracuda, MailFoundry, Etc.
Jul 31, 2009Does anyone have any experience to share concerning these devices?
I'm having some serious spam issues and would like to look into a better approach to preventing this than the typical SpamAssasin solution bundled with cPanel, Plesk and so on. SA seems rather inefficient, needs a lot of training, can get a lot of false positives, tends to break now and then, and so on.
Have any of you used either the Barracuda or the MailFoundry applicances, or even better - compared them first hand? Are there any similar solutions out there, perhaps cheaper/more cost effective in the long run?
$2000-3000+ for the hardware and around $500 a year for an anti-spam solution is a little steep in my opinion. Especially considering the old and cheap hardware for an example MailFoundry uses. How accurate they actually are in terms of false positives is also seemingly debated. MailFoundry promises a near 0 false positive rate, while some user-experiences suggest somewhere between 6-10% - which could represent an issue just as problematic as spam itself. Nobody wants to lose out on important email. To spend such an amount on a device and updates, it certainly needs to be worth it. Is it?
Are there any equally good or better software based solutions out there, that one could for an example use to set up a custom anti-spam server using existing hardware at the DC?
Barracuda Balancer
Aug 7, 2007A little bit excited as the Barracuda is coming soon...
We have 1 forum server, and it's being access internally by all the classrooms, students, teachers, etc. How should I approach this setup? The current hostname for the forum machine is forum... how should I setup the cluster? forum2?
Barracuda Alternative
Dec 5, 2007We currently are using Barracuda solution for our spam filtering for managed hosting clients and a few shared hosting ones that took advantage of our promotion.
However we are now in the situation of the filter dropping the ball and queuing up emails during business hours and are currently looking into two options for replacement as Barracuda support teams is unable to help.
Delay'd email generally isn't an issue but we have some high profile clients who's primary business runs on email and a delay'd email for 12 hours could cost them tens of thousands of dollars.
We are throwing around the idea of deploying our own spam/email filter on a BSD platform or an alternative hardware spam filter. As this will give us more freedom but less enterprise support.
Was wondering what anyone has dealt with that they could give there reviews on. I know there are a handful of similar solutions out there I just want reviews and pro/cons to them as we cannot deploy an untested solution and want to get into the testing stages very soon.
Barracuda Load Balancer
Mar 27, 2008if it is possible to hide the Barracuda Load Balancer signature in headers ?
If you check here : [url]
or do a telnet 80 to that same FQDN and send "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" + "RETURN" you will be able to see in the headers the server signature (BarracudaHTTP 1.00).
Is there any way to hide this?
Do You Recommend A Software Firewall When Behind A Hardware Firewall
Dec 17, 2008Do you recommend a software firewall when behind a hardware firewall?
All of our servers are behind Cisco ASA 5505 firewalls which we rent from Liquidweb. All are being managed correctly and setup to there optimal levels. With hardware firewalls firmly in place, do you still recommend a software firewall such as APF or IPTables (we're talking linux); in our opinion we see it as an extra administration overhead. If this is however untrue, we will change out thinking.
Firewall - Kerio Or Windows Firewall
Jun 13, 2008I've found a dedicated server at a great price and plan to stick with it, my first ( already have 2 vps accounts ). I don't have the money for a hardware firewall. However, I do have a chance to renew a Kerio WinRoute Firewall license from way back.
Does anyone think this would be better than the default windows 2003 firewall?
Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Move Spam To Spam Folder Not Available?
Oct 17, 2013Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
Panel version 11.0.9 Update #59, last updated at Oct 3, 2013 02:06 AM
MailEnable version 5
I see in the plesk documentation that the screen to enable SPAM filtering for an individual there is an option to "Move spam to the Spam folder". I don't see that option so I am wondering if it is only available on some versions of Plesk, or in combination with certain mail servers. How to make that option available?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFirewall + NAT
Oct 24, 2009I'm planning to place some firewalls in my network, but I'm afraid of something.
I have never used cisco pix, checkpoints and others.. We currently use custom made linux solutions for that
When we use these ready-to-go boxes, do we need to NAT the internal server IPs?
Is it possible to use these ready-to-go solutions with REAL IPs in the servers?
Does cPanel work well with NATed internal IPs? Or shall I have some trouble?
Do you think it's safer to with NATed, or it will be better to use real ips instead?

View 7 Replies View RelatedFTP Ban And Firewall
Jun 3, 2009Im using the latest cPanel release. Using Pure-FTPD as the ftp server. I have CSF Firewall installed and configured and have also got [url]installed. on the dos deflate software ive set the ban limit to 250 connections.
But what my problem is that while downloading on ftp clients with internet that can download very fast that it will ban them. Ive kinda realised that it is to do with the DDos software but im unsure what i should do. Increase the limit of connections but that would mean that more minor Ddos attacks might get through so that would affect more clients. Or leave the limit at 250 and let clients get blocked for 20 minutes.
Or alternatively is there a way i can stop people getting banned via FTP completly. As i dont see that option on the Ddos or csf.
Firewall + RDP
Jan 14, 2009I´m running the remote desktop service and configuring a remote dedicated server right now.
So, I need to install a firewall in this machine, but I don´t want to be disconnected after the installation.
So, can anyone tell me of a firewall that don´t stop the connection of RDP just after installation and works with Windows 2003 Server?
Firewall OS
May 9, 2008secure a LAN network with 200 computers, a specific hardware solution (like CISCO PIX or so) might not be available.
Though, I'm considering a Firewall OS based Solution like pfSense, m0n0wall, eBox, Endian Firewall, SmoothWall, etc.
There are so many options and I have no experience with none of this. My Requirements are:
Web based configuration
Clean Interface with graphic statistics
Pretty Secure
Good hardware support
Free usage
Simple configuration
Support for high bandwidth usage
I think OpenBSD is pretty secure, is there any OpenBSD Firewall OS solution with this requirements?

Firewall - 300 USD Max
Feb 6, 2008know of any hardware firewall (or suggest) which is under 300 USD and can protect around 5 servers with a total bandwidth capacity of 100 (+/-) Mbps. I am really no security expert
Of course, it should have web based management, online documentation (not really needed) and something special for prevent DoS attacks automatically (really fed up of them).
If possible if you can link me directly to an online store that can ship it Internationally / Europe?
CSF Firewall
Apr 26, 2008I was having attacks so I installed CSF firewall which did a great job. However on a few of my sites, specifically proxy ones, every second or third page you visit will be a 403 Forbidden error. After about 20-30 seconds, you can refresh and it goes away. I suspect CSF is causing this, because it just started to happen after I installed it. Is it thinking there are too many connections or too much bandwidth and its blocking me or other users just using the proxy? Is there a way to make it slightly more tolerant?

Mar 2, 2007I am a non technical type that is trying to start a web based business. I am thnking a dedicated server will be the best option for me but as I looked at the quotes from several different web hosts I noticed that the firewall services that they provide are very expensive. 100$ a month - 150$ a month.
Are there other firewall options that can be installed on the server that we as administrators can install and use?

Best Firewall W/o Lan
Feb 10, 2007Lately one of my servers have been getting syn floods and ddos attacks (repeatedly for the last 2 weeks). The attacks are not as bad as they were the last 2 weeks, but my software firewall (iptables and csf) is not doing the job anymore. It can't handle such large attacks.
I picked up a netgear firewall, but it has dhcp and lan, which made it have no use to me. All my servers are on static ips, so I would be unable to use a lan.
Is there a firewall available which would allow me to setup something like this (Server 1 is the one getting attacked):
Internet ---> Firewall ---> 48 Port Switch ---> Server 1, Server 2, and so on
or
Internet ---> 48 Port Switch ---> Firewall ---> Server 1
Other servers come off the Switch
I saw the Cisco Pix on ebay, but am not sure of all the features it holds. I basically need a firewall without any lan capaibilites, no routing, just a plain firewall that will protect from DDoS and Syn Floods (if possible, also email me the logs). Also needs to push up to 20Mbps (100Mbps would be best though).
I looked into m0n0wall and pfsense, but their software didn't make any sense to me. I tried setting it up on a PIII 700Mhz with 768MB Ram but never got the webConfig to work.
Price is not a huge issue, I just need these attacks to end. any suggestions on software firewalls let me know.
