When we use the ConfigServer Security&Firewall have you noticed the packet loss because of of the firewall?
Check check your IP or website you will the loss of packets

Is there an solutions for these problems?
Disbale the firewall and check you will not get any loss of packets
How I can enable the following options on my VPS:

I heard that CSF firewall will block the ips but still its useful to install? or is there any other method to stop to automatically block the ips from csf? Just want to know about it.
View 14 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading to Plesk 12 the FTP connection has become very slow. Mode Security, Fail2Ban and Plesk Firewall have been enabled, the security is set to force sFTP and maximum security and in /etc/proftpd.d/ a conf file has been added to set the passive ports that have been opened in the Plesk Firewall (60000 to 62000)
Turning off the Mod Security does not solve the slow connection.
What can we do to detect the cause of the problem?
This very well could be the most positive review I have or ever will give.
First let me start by explaining what ConfiServer does. They offer a wide range of services such as securing cPanel along with installing multiple scripts to an "Anti-Spammer/Exploit Service". In addition to this they even offer tons of free software such as a firewall, explorer, mail manager etc.
Besides offering great free things such as their software, they offer great services.
I have used both their cPanel Server Service Package and their Anti-Spammer/Exploit Service, both I couldn't be more happy with for the following reasons:
1. Saw a decrease in spammers and hackers.
2. Made the server more secure
3. Was done fast
4. Before they install your services they will ask you questions that will allow you to pick and choose what they do in case there is something you don't want done or already did yourself.
5. Their software is all around great. The explorer makes accessing files much easier than before, and, the firewall locks out anyone just going ahead and guessing at passwords.
The only downside that I have found is with the firewall, and that is customers being blocked because they forgot their login information. However, that isn't ConfigServer's fault and I could easily just turn that off if I didn't want it.
Bottom Line: I highly recommend ConfigServer
I thought this problem was fixed in Plesk 11.5 but I'm still getting the following backup warnings in Plesk 12..."For security reason backup is performed on behalf of subscription system user...."
My phpbb forum creates cache files which have apache ownership and Plesk backup manager gives warnings that it cannot backup the files due to ownership errors.
I have searched for days for a solution without success. If I change the permissions to owner instead of apache the forums don't function correctly.
Is this a Plesk bug that is still evident in Plesk 12?

I thought I knew enough about my .htaccess stuff to do this, but I can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is if a user visits domain.com/folder, we check to see if the folder exists. If so, show as normal (IE domain.com/support)
If a user visits domain.com/dynamicusername (dynamicusername is not a physical folder), redirect to dynamicusername.domain.com
Do 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.
I'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?
I run a web hosting company and one of my servers is a LAMP server running CentOs 5. A user of mine has a Joomla installation running to manage his website and he has run into the following problem that I am puzzled by.
When Joomla adds a component or module to itself, or when a user uses the Joomla upload functionality, Joomla will add the new files under the user name "apache". This makes sense as it is the apache service running PHP that is actually creating the files.
However, when he FTP's into the account to modify these files, he doesn't have the appropriate permissions to do so as he doesn't have a root level login, just permissions on his home directory which is the site. Any help would be much appreciated.
Also, does anyone know how to change the owner/group of a directory and all of its sub directories in Linux without changing the actual permissions? I.e. some of the files in the folder have different permissions (0644 as apposed to 0755) than its parent but if I do a top down user/group change on the folder it will change everything in that folder to 0755.
when I find the subscription from the admin side of PPA, if I select "Login as user" I've noticed that it is different from actually logging in as the user - for example - "add domain alias" is missing when I login as a customer - but not as an admin... I need my customers to add their own aliases and manage them - how do I add that feature to the client login side?

Is it possible to use these ready-to-go solutions with REAL IPs in the servers?

View 7 Replies View RelatedIm 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.
I´m running the remote desktop service and configuring a remote dedicated server right now.

secure 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?

CSF or APF and BFD ?
know 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?
I 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?

Lately 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.
