Help On How To Install A Firewall To Secure A New Dedicated Server.
This guide features steps on how to install firewalls for a dedicated server. If you prefer to run your dedicated server in an automated manner then this guide is for you. This guide contains detailed instructions on how to install multiple profiles when server hosting (for all instance and purposes). These profiles can be run manually or via scheduler.
First task is to launch the dedicated server from the Dedicated Server profile. Configure the way you want your profile setup and start server hosting.
If don't want your security measures left weak, you need to install and enable BFD after setting up a firewall for on your dedicated hosting solution. BFD is short for Brute Force Detection, which basically runs a SSH script to check if authenticity has been breached. Advanced Policy Firewall (APF) provides more than enough security for web hosting. APF provides a policy based iptable for configuration. Whether you are a novice or an expert the subset features are designed to suit you.
Packaged in multiple formats APF is ideal for deployment on any environment. You will need root SSH access to your server. Log in to your root user from su through SSH. Unpack all packages in your temporary folder. Begin installation by double-clicking the installer. You should see a message upon successful installation. Let's start configuring the firewall. Let's go over the general info's to get your firewall running. The contents of this guide will not refer to all the features of the firewall. If you require additional information check the README file and the configuration file. To find which networks have displayed suspicious activity you can check the 'block' list in DShield.org. You need to use the 'common ingress' and 'common egress' commands in your Cpanel Server. These commands should be compatible with Ensim Servers too, although that's not guaranteed. Now save all changes and start the firewall. After launch you can check to see if everything's ok by trying some actions like flush, restart, list, allow host, deny host etc. If you see everything is fine and running, change the DEV option. The firewall will clear itself automatically at 5 minutes interval unless you change it from cron. After you have tested everything it is better to change the value to zero. Once you have saved all your changes restart the firewall. To start APF at boot time automatically look for commands in the README.
The AntiDOS feature is quite new in this firewall, which can be viewed from the logs. You might want look around here at all the features, but don't forget to check out the alerts by email feature. This feature is very useful when you are concerned with extra security. It is recommended to check the APF logs frequently to check hosts who have been denied or given access. With your new firewall you can now block hosts. If you want to block comments as well you should get the latest version of APF. As shown in the README use d flag before the IP address to deny them access.
That concludes on how to install an APF firewall for dedicated servers.
