Is that possible to block baidu without specifying whole list of IDs it's using ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.
When I modify rules using the firewall panel it is not generating rules correctly when selecting allow from selected sources deny from others.

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?
Plesk 12.x
CentOS 6.5
Any method for copying the Firewall (extension) rules from one server to another.
I have enabled modsecurity system and in 1 day the modsec_audit.log file has grown to more than 700Mb. Is there any way to reduce the number of messages that this module logs?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I just have installed plesk panel and when i get to the "Firewall" tool, then clicked on "Enable Firewall Rules Management", proftpd has stopped working properly.URLs....I have preinstalled the server 2 times, and every time i try to edit the firewall rules, proftpd got broken.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 am unable to disable or modify the firewall by using the plesk firewall extention. Plesk throw the two errors below:
Code:
Error: Could not disable firewall:
util_exec(.., 'proc_open') failed: file does not exist or is not executable: /opt/psa/admin/bin/modules/firewall/register_service
Code:
Error: Could not activate firewall configuration:
util_exec(.., 'proc_open') failed: file does not exist or is not executable: /opt/psa/admin/bin/modules/firewall/safeact
I checked the symlinks, they point to the same location: /opt/psa/admin/bin/modules/firewall/mod_wrapper
-r-s--x--- 1 root root 18896 Jun 6 10:37 mod_wrapper
In plesk I have set the ssh rule to allow from source, deny others and added my IP. However, if I connect my PC to my work VPN, I can still login via ssh, even when I am on a different IP as the allowed IP
View 18 Replies View RelatedI 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'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.
I enabled plesk firewall to my ip now I cant seem retrieve directory listing. I've done the same with ssh that works fine.

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 ?

I have the web pro edition panel 12 on centos 6.5 64bit, and i have made some custom firewall rules in order to be able to run a teamspeak server. The problem is that the firewall randomly blocks the teamspeak port and keeps it blocked unless i restart the firewall.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I deny all other traffic for the "System policy for incoming traffic" to secure the server by only allowing the explicit ports I've requested to open, my server stops operating correctly.
It appears when I set the "System policy for incoming traffic" to deny, it appears to be disrupting various functions such as web traffic over ports 80/443, FTP, SSH, they either work extremely slow or don't work at all.
I brought this up with my Plesk license provider and they stated that the Plesk firewall doesn't add any tracking for ephemeral ports, therefore if you set the policy to drop for incoming/outgoing, it's not going to allow proper TCP communication since the return socket can't be opened. Also that the firewall is an explicit deny system rather than explicit allow based system.
Am I doing something wrong? All I want to do is to block all ports other than the ones I've set to allow. Is this how it is supposed to work?
I bought hosting with Servage, and payed it directly with Paypal, since then 20 hours ago I havent got any email received from them, so I cant login cause I dont have my details!

I ordered a server on Dec. 11 with iWeb, after a few days of waiting I haven't receive any confirmation regarding my server so I decided to sent a follow up email to my account manager, waited about a day for a reply and still nothing so I decided to talk to them via chat, talk to the chat guy for a few minutes and he transferred me to my account manager. I talked to my account manager and he said my server will be activated the next day and maybe he could fast track it and get it activated today.
The server was not activated on the day I talked to him or the next day. So I sent him a follow up email again and told him that if the server is not activated I will cancel my order and he replied to me saying that it will be activated for sure "sometime today". In short, the server was not activated again.. This is when I already sent him an email to have my order canceled and he hasn't reply to me since.
During the time I sent a follow up email to my account manager (the first follow up email) I also opened a ticket to their support. They reply to me saying that I need to make a payment for this order! For some reason they managed to screw up my billing and me ending up owing them money which absolutely does not make any sense considering they already charged my CC for this order and even credited my account because this order was suppose to replace my old server that I have with them.
I reply asking for an explanation and told them they should talk to my account manager, it took them 3 days to reply back and pretty much said the same thing to me. When they replied back, this is the point where I already emailed my account manager to have my server canceled so I told them that and still asking for an explanation on how I ended up owing money. They haven't reply to me since.
Guess what? After sending two emails (one for my account manager and contact form) regarding my order cancellation they still (and finally?) activated my server today!
Now I just finished talking to them via chat regarding this issue and they said they will credit my account and it will take 48hrs (which I highly doubt will only take 48 hrs) but still doesn't explain how I still ended up owing money. I want to see how my billing history will look like when they credited my account and go from there...
So for those considering iWeb...
iWeb has horrible support, great network and price but horrible support. I have a server with them since 2005 and I have never seen an improvement in support response time. I usually don't need their help anyway but this pisses me off so much because I needed the server asap and the way it was handled.
I have a server with Steadfast (now cancelled), Gnax and now Softlayer and iWeb support has the worst response time.
