  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Malwarebytes blocks inbound port 53

Smelleken

New Pleskian
Hello there.
I have Mallwarebytes installed on a windows Plesk 11 server. Is this a good combination or should Mallwarebytes not be installed on a Parrallels Plesk server?

What bothers me is that Mallwarebytes regularly blocks incoming port 53 connections by named.exe.
It claims it is access from potentially malicious websites. I wonder if it is blocking legit traffic which might impact DNS functionality or that it is doing what it is supposed to do. Anybody with experience or suggestions?

Regards,
Smelleken
 
I have checked a number of IPs that were blocked and they seemed to be coming from suspicious sites including DNS attacks by a minecraft server.
Normal traffic appears to be functioning correct so that part of the question is resolved.
