  • 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.

Parallels Plesk Panel Firewall Module

Regular Pleskian
I Need Help Getting a Software Firewall on the system.

For many years the Firewall module was installed as default. (why has this changed)

The instructions say
Login as administrator to the Parallels Plesk Panel.
Click the Modules shortcut in the navigation pane > Manage Modules > Add New Module.
Select a module package file, and click OK.

HOWEVER, when I click browse, it goes to my computer. I would like to to use the one included in Plesk 10. (it does still have one, correct?

Other instructions I found in the Admin Guide say:
Go to Settings > Firewall (in the Security group).
Under Tools, click Switch On.

I Do not see this option in setting.

Please help, the firewall module is very important (critical), what am I missing?
Did WWD install it wrong during setup?

guide

Yes, that is the page I am referring to. Either, plesk is installed wrong, or something is missing from the guide on installing it.
I will try the /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/modulemng --install --file=/opt/modules/firewall.rpm
to see if that file exists and will install.

firewall file missing

This is what I get
[root@ip-72-167-54-98 ~]# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/modulemng --install --file=/opt/modules/firewall.rpm
error: open of /opt/modules/firewall.rpm failed: No such file or directory
Is the firewall module no longer included?
Brad
 
What about correct method or modules installation? Just run /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller and select 'Additional Plesk modules' in menu there and then Firewall module for installation.
 
Will try on new server

Thanks IgorG,
I have decided to switch to different server company that seems to offer support for Plesk, I will try that when I get the new server (unless it is already loaded). I am excited to try the new company.
