View 7 RepliesDo 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.
How do you modify a server's firewall? We have a dedicated server with WHM installed and it appears we can't get into mail.domain.com because of a firewall setting (our host disabled the firewall and it worked fine, then of course put it back up).
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to install APF firewall on my vps server.
My server is OpenVZ based with hypervm.
But i dont know wich port used by hypervm and lxadmin and must be open in firewall.
I'm looking to colo 5 servers, 3 app servers, 1 db, 1 backup/sparedb. I am looking for something to provide a bit of protection in, and it seems like the ASA5505 is a good firewall, but I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations?
I probably won't need ridiculous features, I wish it had gigE ports (I need to get a separate gigE switch for now, just for internal transfers+backups).
Is there anything else that might be a little cheaper, or do I need to upgrade to the 5510? Myself and one other person are the only people who would be VPNing to the internal server cluster, so we don't need massive connection rights.
I do not think I will be pushing 100mbits of data transfer, so I'm not worried about the throughput of the server.
What's the best firewall to use on a dedicated server? Maybe something free, or at a low cost - it's a necessary expense after all.

View 14 Replies View RelatedWe have a Dell 1950 server with WinServer 2003 which is at the moment unprotected and exposing our entire network to the internet. At the moment we don't have a hardware firewall and want to install a software firewall in the meantime for ACL. We could use the default firewall that comes with the server but apparently that's easy to exploit. I tried one called Kerio, however this particular firewall can't be configured from RDP because it needs to be active in order to input the IPs for it to allow. Any suggestions on a software based firewall solution that's easy to install and manage remotely?

In your opinion what is the best firewall to use on a dedicated server that is running directadmin?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'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?
A firewall will run me another $100. Is it worth it? Do any of you run a Windows server w/o a firewall.

Questions About Self-Managed Dedicated Server
View 11 Replies View Relatedwe had 2 Xen serverers in colohouse, each with 30 IPs yet.
Now we are going to purchase third server and started to think about renting small rack and putting own firewall infront of the servers.
Actual bandwidth is 5Mbits for both servers together.
We are thinking about to have something like this:
Colohouse-->Firewall<-->switch<--->Xen server(s)
With scenario we would like to add:
1) traffic monitoring per IP
2) traffic shapping per IP
3) firewalling whole segment of our public IPs
FW will get single IP and range of public IPs routed to that IP
4) be able to put one public IP for VPS on to any Xen server
What firewall and switch you will recommend for this scenario?
I have a server with Windows Server 2003 and for some days alguian is trying to enter using terminal server.
How I can block the ip of the attacker?
What firewall you recommend me to install in the server?
can anyone recommend firewall software for Windows 2003 Server. I'm aware it has a firewall on board, but this one doesn't allow me to specific access to specific IP address on the server, which are configured on a single adapter.
Also, I've looked into IPsec, which is my backup solution if I cannot find a decent firewall. Unfortunately, IPsec is kind of restrictive and not particularly stateful.
I'm looking for a simple firewall, which is not too expensive. This is only for one simple server.
I just uninstall apf and install csf firewall on 4 servers
There is a problem after that. 2 of the server actually was OFFLINE by 12 midnight sharp yesterday night. This is the second time (second day) it happens.
I went into the datacenter and
#ping yahoo.com
*Host not found*
#service csf stop
#ping yahoo.com
*Responding*
So how is this related to eth0 making my server offline by itself? Was it Iptable problem or Csf problem? or Kernel problem?
I have Windows 2003 Server on my dedicated server...
PLESK 8.1
When I go into the Control Panel -> Windows Firewall.
It won't allow me to open Windows Firewall to configure it.
I get the following error....
"due to unidentified problem windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings".
I have checked PLESKs control panel. And there does not seem to be a service in there for Windows firewall.
My Host suppose to have contacted PLESK about this problem but they are taking far to long to resolve the issue.

The first night went un-noticed, so I thought it was normal. The second night it happen, and I set cronjob at 0:05 to stop iptables and stop csf and restart network

If so, will the guides that were put out for 2003 work on 2008's? I want to be sure before putting all these ports in....if I can just specify a range instead, it would be much easier!
