I was wondering we use ConfigServer Security & Firewall for our firewall and was wondering how we can go about blocking certain countries from being able to access our servers, mainly Korea, China and Russia?
Recently I have been putting thought into creating an online storefront for my web hosting business. I stopped advertising online and even having a website for a good 8 months and built my business on local companies in my area.
I just read a thread regarding an Indonesian who says he can't get hosting because his country is black listed. I need information on other countries that web hosts block and don't allow orders from. I want to provide to the middle east, I am writing a great T.O.S. and A.U.P. but I am also looking for some advice on how to prevent fraud from happening to me.
My ideas are a phone call to the potential customer, and a faxed copy of there photo ID. So could you please list some countries I should be weary about dealing with and some ways to prevent fraud.
Does CISCO ASA Firewall block SQL and XSS Injection? If not, then which are the firewalls available which do this job. I have checked web application firewalls and found them to be too costly for my budget. What are the other cheap options available?
Recently, there have been brute force attacks to try and compromise my sa password (MSSQL) and root password (MYSQL).
I would like to block certain ip addresses, but looking in the built in firewall in windows I don't see a way to do this. Is this possible with the built in tools/firewall that comes with windows 2003?
If not, can anybody recommend a simple firewall solution that will allow me to block ip addresses? I don't want something that is bloated and blocks popups, viruses, adware, etc. I just want a solution that will allow me to block ip addresses and prevent brute force attacks.
I have come across an issue where traffic from India is hurting my business. What I have is a number of job boards. Realistically, the only issue I am having is with IT and Engineering positions being applied for heavily by people in India. Since my customer base is all in the USA, I would like to just block India.
While I know this is easy with Apache using a .htaccess file, I am using IIS on server 2007. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this easily with the large number of IPs that India uses?
I have a webpage and currently hosted in the Philippines
It can be accessed by countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines
However Singapore is having a problem accessing it. We tried different accounts, different ISPs, even on Cafes, Laptops, wi-fi but cannot access it
It says:
Standard message: The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings
what CCtlds/GenTLDs do you know of that offer Zonefiles? I know com/net/org/info/biz, and I know that f.ex Germany/UK/Sweden doesnt offer any - but what else? Perhaps there is a list/directory somewhere?
I am receving calls from some countries or areas when they say they can not access my site ( site can not be found)
I called my provider and they say every thing is alright from their site and from my side too but some areas in other countries like right now I received a call from canada they can not access my site my provider wants me to send Tracert
I can ask my friends to send that but not every user why this happanes and what tools are available to check and see if my site is alright from all areas or counties?
I'm tired of india people hitting our website (because it is a top hit on google and the others) then calling the next day to bug me to use them for outsourcing.
I am going to block some IP blocks in my .htaccess file to prevent this.
I can see from my statcounter logs that the hits from india so far have come from 59.* 102.* and 203.* (as in 59.###.###.###).
Is there a place I can lookup to find out if I block those, will I will also be blocking some north america IPs (since I'm using such a broad wildcard)?
All our paying business comes from north america.
my htaccess file will look like this:
Code: # prevents a directory listing when typing in the directory path in the browser Options -Indexes # # My effort to keep india sites from seeing our website order allow,deny deny from 203. deny from 59. allow from all
This is not strictly a technical issue with our server as such, but this subforum still seemed most relevant. If not, please move the thread to a better suited one.
Bizarre problem: in the last 2-3 days, visitors from certain countries (France, Holland, Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro) are having difficulties in reaching our website hosted on cari.net. However, other countries (USA, UK, Germany, Russia) don't seem to have this problem at all. The server itself is a-OK.
The website hosts an IPB forum. The problem is that every so often (very often), upon clicking on a link, the browser hangs on "connecting", and often times out and returns a Bad Request message. Sometimes, when a clicked link that's waiting is refreshed, it immediately loads the page up quickly, as if nothing is wrong.
We cannot call our hosting company, as it's really nothing to do with them, the server works perfectly, it's just that traffic from certain countries has difficulties to get through a certain level3.net node in the USA (that is where tracert usually breaks down, or gets through after several attemtps).
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'm currently experiencing a lot of IP's starting with 200 and 201 (from Brazil) some IP’s have over 200 connections. I have APF installed and want to know how to block a block on ip's if this is possible. IPS: 200.11.******* 201.*******
Fortigate appliances blocking an IP that is not in RBLs I have a problem with the IP 66.187.108.157 of my VPS it seems to be blocked by Fortigate appliances, as you can see in this error message:
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:[url] host mail.am.com.pe [200.62.221.107]: 554 5.7.1 This message has been
blocked because it is from a FortiGuard - AntiSpam black IP address.(connection black ip 66.187.108.157)
However I have searched in this URL [url]and it is clean.
Any ideas on how to have/force Fortigate databases to become updated.
I'm having difficulties with a whm running on centos dedicated server. The problem is that we receive too much of spam and junk emails. by too much I mean 2000 bulks per week. It's killing us.
Is there any way to block a particular ISP? Have a visitor that changes IP hourly, but the IP always resolves back to a hostname like dsl.yuns.sksk.uk .
I have CSF installed. Any way to block all visitors from dsl.yuns.sksk.uk?
