Tag: Firewall

Are you unable to connect to your cPanel based VPS server  or dedicated server to send or receive email, log into cPanel or WHM, or make an FTP or SSH connection? Are you able to view your website in your browser? If not, and the connection simply times out, it's possible that your IP address has been blocked by the dedicated server’s firewall. Typically, this is the result of too many failed logins (through cPanel, SSH, FTP, email, etc.) in too short a period of time.

As you might expect, most support requests on managed cPanel servers fall into a few basic categories. What you might be surprised to discover is that many common problems can be resolved by following a few simple steps.

CSF (or Config Server Firewall) offers several advantages over the APF (Advanced Policy Firewall), including more robust protection against Denial of Service, SYN flood and other common attacks. One of its most appealing features is its plugin for WebHost Manager that allows you to quickly access firewall settings and common tasks through a graphical interface.

Should you discover (or suspect) that a client or customer’s IP address has been blocked in the firewall, or you just need to open (or close) a port on your cPanel server, you may be able to quickly resolve the issue yourself if you have access to WebHost Manager and the ConfigServer Firewall (CSF).
