APF firewall is blocking IP's from the allowed range
I have this inserted in /etc/apf/allowed_hosts.rules and restarted APF of course
67.79.221.0/24
70.112.124.0/24
70.113.54.0/24
It still blocked this IP for example, 67.79.221.154
Anyone know why?
I've been carrying some weird hours lately, so I'm able to see activity on my sites that I normally don't see.
Certain IPs are trying to diddle their things into my server and need the boot. It's not consistent (ie not happening every 5, 10 mins)... it's periodically throughout the months. I'll see an IP I blocked 2 months ago just randomly show up at 4:30am and try accessing the same files it was probing during it's last visit. Assuming this is just some sort of bot, can I block it permanently?
I know APF has a collection system that purges an IP list to keep it from bloating, and I had PSM do some hardening so I'm not entirely sure about the workings of APF firewall. So far my IP blocks are blank (which is a good sign!), but I'd like to add some nuisances to it, to keep their crap from appearing in my error logs anymore as "Denied by Server Configuration"
My question is: Can I block people at server level permanently? I do not want their IP being taken out with the purge list that comes by every so often.
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
I'm trying to figure out a method to stop some of the email spam that we get, and I have something figured out, but I need help on implementing it.
Basically, we get a lot of spam emails from addresses claiming to be from our domain (EX: From: someguy@mysite.com). The email is actually not from our domain, nor does the address actually exist, but the From address is being forged to look like it is our domain.
Basically to fix this, i want to block all email where the From address is claiming to be from our domain, with a nonexistent email address. I'm pretty sure that this is configurable in Exim, but I haven't found any tutorial on it, and I'm not familiar enough with Exim to do it very easily. Anyway if anyone knows of a tutorial or how this could be accomplished, please let me know.
Just to Add:
The reason that these emails are a problem is that the spam software we are running recognizes these emails as being from our domain which it trusts, so they pass most spam filters.
know of a vps provider in uk that allows ircd its not going to be linked up to a large network just mainly for personal use

The requested method GET is not allowed for the URL /backup-11.4.2008_18-10-25_ashaq.tar.gz.

so what should I do to solve this problem?
For window hosting are there any that offers sql db external access without ip limit?
I've seriously requested thought the forums and actually signed up with few but all of em are either offered it but not anymore(security issue) or not even offering at all.
If you have any experience with hosting company that actually does offer sql db external access please share please!
vps nor dedicated servers are not my choice unfortunatley
and i don't think there's any free hosting that offers this. 99% freehostings use localhost

Im setting up a download service which allows users to download files to there space via different methods.
As Torrents are one of the methods, I need a dedi serve host which allows torrents.
It can be either:
a) Ignore DMCA Notices - Much easyier as it saves us the trouble.
b) Forward all notices to us to reply and we handle and delete offending files.
Is there any cheap vps available with TorrentFlux (a php based torrent client - no tracker hosting) and IRC (psybnc, eggdrop) allowed?

Does anybody know of a host that allows file() and file_get_contents() functions in PHP scripts?
* I have a Windows 2003 Professional Edition server with 8GB installed.
* /PAE is enabled to use more than 4GB memory
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut /PAE
* I can see 8GB installed in the Task Manager
* This server is not for hosting but for running some cpu intensive applications. (I am not into webhosting industry)
But the maximum I ever seen been used is 4.66GB, and after that I run often into "Memory allocation failed" "Out of memory exception" application error.
How to use the full 8gb? Or is my box configured to use 8gb? Or is it dependent on application. Do I need a memory manager third-party software?
Looking for IRC allowed VPS, with very few IPs (only 8-16), must be RDNS delegated. SWIP is optional but a plus.
Zero ddos risk - plan on mainly doing hosting, but want to run a few clients. BW as much as possible [almost all outbound], disk maybe 10-15GB, IPv6 is a plus.
RAM something comfortable, 300-600MB, nonoversold, no control panel, unmanaged, no "stupid question" tickets will be sent
ES(X|Xi) or Xen - NO VZ!!!!!
Max cap around $10-30/m USD
Out of the blue today every email sent through our domain is bouncing with the following message:
Remote SMTP Server Returned: 553 Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts.
The server has been fine for over a month and email has been working properly. The only one with access to the server is me and I haven't done anything. We are receiving email just not able to send.
This server is running Windows 2008, IIS7, and the control panel is Plesk 8.6. It is running Mailenable as the email server.
Has anyone experienced this with a similar setup and can you help me fix it?
I have exhausted all recommendations from google searches. All my DNS and MX records are setup properly as well as my relay settings on the server.
I have noticed quite a few warez linking sites (some quite large) coming up that are hosted in Canada.
Does anyone know what the law is on warez linking in Canada?
Is there anyway to test how many simultaneous connections my host is allowing me to have? I seem to be getting alot of people telling me my site is unavailable and so on when I'm not having an issue. My site joomlaplazza.com and host by VT6 extreme account.
Cpanel.
My budget is $180. IRC needs to be allowed, and preferably a server in WA.
Other locations are fine, provided they are NOT in CA, and are in the US.
I went into Reseller center this morning and clicked "View Usage/Stats and Manage (suspend,terminate,etc)" to find out that for that specific reseller:
Disk Space Used in Meg: 6323.02
Disk Space Limit: 4662
How is that possible?
I went back and clicked "Edit Privileges/Nameservers",
Resource Usage Limits|| Resource Max Allowed ||| Overselling Allowed
Disk Space MB* ||||||| 5000 ||||||||||||||||| NOT CHECKED
Bandwidth MB* ||||||| 200000 ||||||||||||||| NOT CHECKED
(Sorry if my table is a bit crooked)
My reseller was able to go over the limit I have setup for him.. Should'nt he have a message that he cannot go over the limit or something preventing him of going over 5000 megs?
I'm looking for an affordable (a.k.a. fairly cheap) stable dedi that allows IRC. It will mainly be used to host a few websites, but it needs to be IRC allowed as well (the irc portion will be very small). Does anyone know any good hosts? Most of the cheaper hosts I've looked into don't allow IRC at all .
- IRC allowed
- US preferably; not necessary
- Managed or un-managed, doesn't matter
- Decent price
- Need somewhere around 20-35 IPs
My desired specs are 512MB-1GB RAM, smallest HDD possible, and 1 IP. CPU usage will be pretty low.
IRC has allowed and it needs to be a datacenter in Texas. The datacenter can't be ThePlanet. DDoS protection is a huge plus.
I`am creating a VPS company and im searching for a DEDICATED SERVER with good DDoS protection.
My Budget max is: $320,00
Is for IRC use,so my costumers need something strong,i also need others options than staminus-gige-awknet-sharktech.
For those host which are not overselling, they have obviously the space for file storage. But should they allow file storage on their shared hosting account, if they aren't overselling, and the files are legal?
Well, this can also be counted as a survey I need
It would be best if you provide a reason if your vote is no.

Example:
I have a database table with the ip's to be banned. This ip's can be unbanned or others ip's can be baned automatically by my script. Haw can the script tell to the firewall that an Ip was banned or unbanned? If you can give examples with the firewall on the same server and with an external firewall,

I'm looking for a dedicated server where IRC is allowed on the network. EU or US. Nothing abusive. Budget is from $80 - $100-$110 and a place where they could announce my /24.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a reliable dedicated server provider that allows IRC. I am looking for something under 100 dollars. My budget is 100 dollars, not a cent more. I am not concerned about management levels. Managed or un-managed doesn't matter. I would prefer a U.S. based location.
KEEP READING...
1. Dont ask me what specs I am looking for; the under $100 budget will dictate the specs.
2. Yes, I am aware that there have been two topics about dedicated servers that allow IRC in the recent past. I was unable to find a host from those topics.
3. Yes, I am sure I am looking for a dedicated. Don't post links to shell providers.
4. I am about 99% sure, I will not purchase a dedicated server from your sig. If you don't have something useful to say, please don't say it at all.
5. I'm not looking for someone to tell me that its hard to find a dedicated server that allows IRC under 100 dollars. I am also fully aware that most dedicated providers don't allow IRC. On top of that I understand WHY a lot of providers don't allow IRC. Please don't post if your only going to say why IRC isn't allowed.
6. I have checked the offers sections. No luck. Please don't tell me to check the offers section.
7. I am looking for a dedicated server under 100-dollars. That's the bottom line. Thanks for reading the entire post Wait! Did I tell you thanks for reading the entire post?
One of the requirements I have for dedicated server providers is the ability to use IRC clients, not host IRC servers, but just allow my users to use a client on the host to chat on other networks. I know sometimes this can lead to trouble, but in my experience I've not run into any problems. It seems many providers allow client-only access, especially on dedicated servers, but I sometimes run into roadblocks with some providers, especially if we don't speak the same language. Maybe they just don't understand I'm talking about IRC clients? What is the general feeling of you hosters about IRC clients? Good bad, indifferent? Better to ask or not? Any advice on how to ask?
