Advance Firewall

[nicutdk]

Hello,

ability to block IP by countries

Thank You.

 

[IgorG]

Could you please clarify this your necessity with more details? What is the main goal of this additional firewall function in Plesk from your point of view?

 

[atomicturtle]

Hes talking about Geo-Blocking. We support this feature in Atomic Secured Linux

 

[IgorG]

Yes, I know that it is Geo-blocking. But I wish to know why he think, what it is so necessary to use in Plesk?

 

[atomicturtle]

presumably to block access to the lighttpd daemon by the country. You can do this with mod_security now, but I dont believe lighttpd supports it yet.

 

[nicutdk]

I would like to block access from China, Russia......, which scans the server or send me all too much spam.

Or maybe in the future will integrate Snort in Plesk

Thank You.
