Firewall (CSF) on main node?
Posted by MacOSX, 08-17-2011, 05:40 PM Hello, I have started selling VPS, but I need a firewall on the main node? Is possible to install CSF on main node? And how can I configure it?
Posted by M Bacon, 08-17-2011, 06:33 PM Ya. It's possible. It's just not as easy as configuring it for a single vps. I would strongly test it on another dedicated server. You could easily make your vps on the node inoperable. Last edited by M Bacon; 08-17-2011 at 06:37 PM.
Posted by HostAdmins, 08-18-2011, 03:16 PM Its better to keep the CSF in the VPS itself and disable all the access to the Node other than ssh with keys.
Posted by license-cube, 08-18-2011, 06:25 PM Are you running Virtuozzo or SolusVM? If so, VZ and SolusVM both have firewalls that you can enable. By default, they are disabled. If your not sure what to do on the Virtuozzo please don't enable it, cause it can lock you out... we've seen this happen before. However, with SolusVM it seems to be fine... even if your not sure on what / how to configure it. I would suggest being very careful with both, just to be 100% safe... you don't want to create outages for your customers... due to a bad config...please reply, and give us more info... perhaps we can all help you out.
