  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Two questions about the Firewall. Where are the config files and about Extension

Regular Pleskian
Hi

The documentation (http://kb.parallels.com/en/111283) gives this information about psa-firewall:

Configuration:
/usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-active.sh
/usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-emergency.sh
/usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-new.sh

However on my Plesk 11.5 on Centos 6.4 this path does not exist. (/usr/local/psa/var/modules/ is empty).

My second question is about the Firewall Extension. I see I can install this by going to Updates and Upgrades and it is then available through the Extension Manager. My question is: is this just a GUI for psa-firewall; or is it a new/different firewall?

With thanks

Make sure you have the extension installed.

The extension is just a frontend to the system firewall colloquially known as iptables on Linux. Installing it through Parallels Installer will in fact install psa-firewall package.
 
Firewall Exstension

Hi

Also; just out of interest - before having installed the Firewall Extension psa-firewall is already running as a process. Presumably it is running with a default or zero configuration?

Thanks again
