Plesk 11.x / Linux :: Firewall Has Not Effect On IPv6
May 15, 2014
Plesk Firewall has no effect on IPv6?
I am writing today regarding the Plesk Firewall. It seemed to be pretty handy for quickly blocking troublesome users from *replace-with-whatever-IP-block-is-giving-you-trouble*. Yet I am unable to block IPv6 addresses, and the fire wall seems to let some blocked IPv4s right in. I did not see any distinction as to v4 or v6 in the Firewall dialog for adding custom rules, so...
The question is...
(1) Is the Plesk Firewall *supposed* to apply rules to IPv6 by default?
If yes...
(2) Is there a setting or a switch that has to be configured for this to work?
If yes...
(3) Where are said configuration options located?
Okay, when I run /sbin/ip6tables -L (CentOS) I get output that resembles the iptables (no 6) output, only... what, converted to IP6? Not sure. Example output:
DROP tcp ::ffff:31.0.0.0/104 ::/0 tcp dpts:1:10000
In that particular instance I added a drop for the 31.0.0.0/8 block (using the Plesk Firewall interface), in order to create the script that's loaded into iptables (and ip6tables as well, apparently) when one elects to "Apply Configuration". It worked great, executed perfectly, and the iptables output list output looked to be (and remember, I have grossly insufficient background knowledge in this area) accurate.
Yet at the time of this writing I can see via live traffic monitor that an address in the 31.0.0.0/8 block (IPv4) is pounding away at a website. This is curious, as the live traffic monitor indicates an IPv4 address. So... can an IPv4 address be detected and recorded from a host that is only able to connect via IPv6? While an interesting question, I was more concerned with just blocking the IPv6 address and get more academic with it later.
But this raises another question; why would Plesk populate ip6tables and not provide an interface to actually submit IPv6 addresses.

I've discovered an annoying problem in Plesk 11.
When you register a .fr domain name, you need to have a Success ZoneCheck at [URL] ....
The test fail because the server didn't answer to ICMP IPv6 requests.
Error: The server does not listen to or does not answer in UDP on the port 53 (on the IpV6)
My question is: How to open port 53 on IPv6 for ICMP requests ?
This is functional with IPv4 But not IPv6.
There are some rules in the Plesk Firewall, but it seems not working at all.

Nginx is listening on port 7080 with ipv6 protocol only.ipv6 isn't use on the server (ipv4 only).If I disable ipv6 support on the server, is this stopping nginx to use ipv6 ? (and some other process)How can I disable IPv6 on Plesk 12 ?

I'm running plesk 12.0.18 on centOS 6.6 and I have some problems with ipv6 support for a domain. This is what I see in my apache logs for that domain:
2001:8d8:90b:c900::2a:19d1 - - [29/Jun/2015:17:44:55 +0200] "GET /hello.html HTTP/1.0" 404 1208 "-" "facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)"
2001:8d8:90b:c900::2a:19d1 - - [29/Jun/2015:17:49:39 +0200] "GET /hello.html HTTP/1.0" 200 384 "-" "curl/7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.16.1 Basic ECC zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2"
2001:8d8:90b:c900::2a:19d1 is the ipv6 from my server, and it appears there because of nginx working as reverse proxy.
As you can see, facebook can't get /hello.html (404 response), but I can get it from another server using curl (200 response). I tried disabling nginx and this is what I see now:
2a03:2880:2110:dff3:face:b00c:0:1 - - [29/Jun/2015:17:55:11 +0200] "GET /hello.html HTTP/1.1" 404 1208 "-" "facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)"
2001:8d8:8b3:6000::4e:c5a0 - - [29/Jun/2015:17:54:52 +0200] "GET /hello.html HTTP/1.1" 200 361 "-" "curl/7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.16.1 Basic ECC zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2"
Still not able to get /hello.html. This is a problem for me because I can't share anything on facebook, since their bot can't find anything on my site.
I've already configured ipv6 for my domain.

I added a AAAA ipv6 zone to my dns the idea was to run the SPF validation by google (who checked the ipv6 and not ipv4 (??) )Out today I have a client who called me and because it can no longer connect to my site...I take his computer in hand by teamviewer and actually the ping of my domain solves the ipv6 not ipv4 in the management of IP in plesk I
Mask IP address subnet Retailer Sites Interface
178.xx.xxx.xxx (shared) 255.255.255.0 eth0 0187
2001: xxxx: x: xxxx :: 1 (dedicated) 64 0 0 eth0
therefore 187 sites under the ipv4 and ipv6 0 on..I actually do not care about ipv6, it's just for spf..I lack some knowledge with dns I think...must I do something on dns to indicate that ipv4 is that actually hosts the site? or at plesk for all requests to be redirected to the ipv6 on ipv4?

I have these problems since version 11.5. Now I have installed version 12 on centos . FTP works fine and is super fast and speedy until i enable PLEK FIREWALL, I also tried to add passive port range 60000-65534 to Plesk Firewall rules.
But nothing works.
It takes like 10 times longer to Login + List Files + Make changes using FTP. We applying changes via FTp and its very slow. We can use plesk file manager but its very inconvenient way for quick file uploads and changes.

I already posted this as a bug report and now wanted to inform other users.
Starting with Plesk 11.5, the file "/opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-emergency.sh" contains the following line:
Code:
rm -f /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/active.flag
That line stems from updating
Code:
Preparing to replace psa-firewall 11.0.9-debian6.0.build110120608.16 (using .../psa-firewall_11.5.30-debian6.0.build115130819.13_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement psa-firewall ...
Now, when you stop the firewall, you cannot start it again, cause deleting the active.flag disables the firewall:
Code:
# ll /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/active.flag
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2013-11-26 09:22 /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/active.flag
# /etc/init.d/psa-firewall stop
psa-firewall: firewall successfully disabled
# ll /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/active.flag
ls: cannot access /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/active.flag: No such file or directory
# /etc/init.d/psa-firewall start
psa-firewall: service is disabled
You then have to manually "touch" the active.flag to be able to start the firewall again. A workaround is to remove the line:
Code:
sed -i 's:rm -f /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/active.flag::' /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-emergency.sh'
I really hope that Parallels fixes this asap, as normally you won't notice that the firewall is not active when every works fine (nothing is blocked) and Plesk still shows all the rules.

I currently have the Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity) installed but would like a visual interface to block IP's, subnets etc.. Can I install the Plesk firewall as well without any conflict with the Web Application Firewall?

I have a brand new and fresh installed server with:
Parallels Plesk v12.0.18
openSUSE 13.1
My Problem is, every day i have to click on activate in the settings of the firewall. Otherwise i have no Mail. The rest (Hosting, etc.) works fine.
No changes in the firewall settings where made, just a migration from my old server.

Running plesk 12.018 on OpenSUSE 13.1
What causes the firewall to change / reset itself periodically? I enabled the plesk firewall, but some time later it is reset itself and switched to the opensuse firewall (completely different rule set, which blocks most of the ports).
I then disabled the plesk firewall and loaded my own iptables rule set via iptables-restore command. However a few hours later, it also gets reset to the opensuse firewall. The std. opensuse firewall closes most of the ports, so then our email is blocked.
I would like to permanently switch off any plesk handling of the firewall and manage the iptables myself. How to do this?
I also have fail2ban running and defined my own jail.local files.

Applying Plesk firewall changes? I make my change, apply and get to:
Status: Applying in progress. If your browser shows connection error messages, or if this screen does not disappear in more than 30 seconds, go to previous page.
And there things stay. Going back to look at the firewall I can see the change haven't been applied, and going to apply just results in the same. No error, just no anything. It also took numerous attempts to get firewall modification to be swtich on although finally at about the eighth attempt changes were enabled. Only now I can't apply them ...

After 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?

I am using the plesk firewall and trying to set up SSH rule which only allows from my IP but deny from everywhere else. In previous versions this worked fine by adding an ip selecting Allow from selected sources, deny from others and the icon in the rules would be orange with the lines
allow incoming from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
Deny incoming from all others
However this no longer works as the deny from all others is not appearing and is not being generated in the iptables by plesk.

Since the update I have a problem with my Firewall. I need to set "Allow all incoming connections" under "Server => Firewall" in order to connect over FTP with TLS (explicit). This was working before the update without allowing all incoming connections. How to fix this in the Plesk panel?

I have some issues with the plesk firewall:
1. Emails are not delivered:
From some reasons, plesk is blocking incoming 25 port (in plesk shows opened, but it's not)My emails are delivered trough port 25, after doing some tests ( i've sent some emails to an email account hosted in the server) there was no email in the roundcube inbox! All emails were blocked...
a) Firewall was blocking the port 25 on server restart.
b) I have succesfully unblocked it from plesk manager -> tools -> edit/change -> even if i didn't change anything, i saved the "changes" and in my roundcube inbox i recived all the test emails.
c) In /var/log/maillog there is no error.
2. Passive FTP gets blocked in the same way, to successfully connect FireFTP on passive mode i need to repeat 1.b steps even if i've created a special rule to prevent the blocking, opening 49152-65534 ports and set PassivePorts 49152 65534 in /etc/proftpd.conf
The issue appears randomly, because in the last 5 days i didn´t restart the server, the last time i checked it worked. Today, without touching anything, firewall blocked my passive FTP and I had probmels reciving emails from gmail, yahoo etc...

I am having trouble connecting to my ssh server. It responds with a lengthy error message about no network etc. but it is the last message that concerns me:
Sometimes, such troubles can be caused by a misconfigured firewall.
How can I check the firewall if I cannot connect to ssh? I am running plesk 11.5 control panel and CentOS 6. Is this something I can do from plesk?
I can see that the firewall in plesk is set to allow all for ssh, but I cannot see way to disable the firewall to test ssh connection. Can this be done from plesk?

I temporarily enabled and activated Plesk firewall module (which I wish I didn't the first time) and for some reason it seems to have overwritten the default iptables configuration that was set, leaving my ftp unable to be logged into. I tried to disable the firewall module and reboot the server. It didn't work.
I also noticed that it somehow seem to have changed my hostname to my previous server hostname as well
Is there any way to completely revert back to original iptables settings before enabling the Firewall module?

I am running Plesk 12 . Centos 6.5
I have Plesk Firewall Installed.
After the Plesk Firewall was enabled the FTP Stopped working in passive Mode.
I searched the net and found the following :
Code:
/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config and change the line with IPTABLES_MODULES to: IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp"
It started working.
I changed the default FTP port from proftpd.conf
Code:
port 2392
and /etc/services
Code:
ftp 2392/tcp
ftp 2392/udp fsp fspd
I allowed the new port in Plesk Firewall in Incoming connection and disabled port 21
Now I am not able to connect to the ftp, I get the following error. Have I missed anything ?
Code:
Response:257 "/" is the current directory
Command:TYPE I
Response:200 Type set to I
Command:PASV
Response:227 Entering Passive Mode (85,25,51,34,216,46).
