Restricting access by port to IP addresses originating in a specific country or countries can be an effective way to help minimize the negative performance impact that country-level blocking can bring. In this example , we’re blocking access to the FTP Ports (20,21) & SMTP Ports(25,110,143,465,587,993,995)   to IP addresses originating in Belgium & Bulgaria. Step #1: Specify the Country or Countries to be Denied Scroll down to the Country Code Lists and Settings section and add the country code to CC_DENY_PORTS . Multiple countries can be comma separated with no spaces in between, and you can find a list of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2. List the port that will be blocked in the specified country in the CC_DENY_PORTS_TCP and CC_DENY_PORTS_UDP fields. Step #2: Save Your Changes and Restart the Firewall Scroll to the bottom of the Firewall Configuration page and click on the Change button. On the next screen, click the R

I have some listed ports for my services management and I want that listed ports only accessible from my country. Yes, you can choose to allowing incoming traffic by port to only a specific country or countries. Generally, this should be a better option than attempting to deny port access to a long list of countries because the firewall be working with a smaller CIDR range against which each incoming request must be checked. My Listed Ports: 22,2030,2031,2086,2087,5550,55004,1025 To limit the ability to connect on a specific port or ports to visitors with IP addresses originating in a specific country or countries, you must: close the ports in the firewall define the country code allowed to connect on those blocked ports specify the blocked ports to be opened for the specified country In this example, we’re allowing access to above  My Listed Ports , to IP addresses based in My Country ( Germany). Step #1: Close the Ports in the Firewall On the Firewall Configuration page,

CSF (ConfigServer Firewall) on a Linux system and you block a lot of IP addresses. Servers running iptables with CSF firewall can become slow and bogged down while processing the sometimes hundreds of IP addresses in CSF's iptables chains. Thankfully, it is possible to quickly and easily alleviate this slowdown by installing and configuring a took called ipset. This option allows you to use ipset v6+ for the following csf options: CC_* and /etc/csf/csf.blocklist, /etc/csf/csf.allow, /etc/csf/csf.deny, GLOBAL_DENY, GLOBAL_ALLOW, DYNDNS, GLOBAL_DYNDNS, MESSENGER ipset will only be used with the above options when listing IPs and CIDRs. Advanced Allow Filters and temporary blocks use traditional iptables. To use this option you must have a fully functioning installation of ipset installed either via rpm or source from http://ipset.netfilter.org/ It’s a straight forward process. CentOS, Red Hat and Fedora (yum based) users : # yum install ipset -y Ubuntu or Debian: # sudo

In our Previous Tutorial Part 4 , We have fixed  Nginx 504 Gateway Time-out for our PrestaShop installation. Now We will run PrestaShop installation again. You have to delete all the tables from DB(datahead_db) that you created for PrestaShop. Open your Browser and visit your domain again. Follow all the steps and also provide DataBase details again and Click on "Next" Your PrestaShop installation is finished successfully. For security purposes, you must delete the "install" folder. Login to your Admin Panel PrestaShop 1.7.6.3 DashBoard:

Welcome to our serious tutorial. When we are installing PrestaShop 1.7.6.3 on CWP7.pro server, we are getting error "Nginx 504 Gateway Time-out " That means CWP The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application. 1. Adjust Timeout Value  for proxy settings  # vi /etc/nginx/proxy.inc proxy_connect_timeout 600s; proxy_send_timeout 600; proxy_read_timeout 600; 2. Change the default_socket_timeout  # vi /opt/alt/php-fpm72/usr/php/php.ini default_socket_timeout 600 Change PHP-FPM Configuration: Default Location: /opt/alt/php-fpm72/usr/etc/ /opt/alt/php-fpm72/usr/etc/php-fpm.d/ /opt/alt/php-fpm72/usr/etc/php-fpm.d/users/ 3. Add following value cwpsvc.conf file : # vi /opt/alt/php-fpm72/usr/etc/php-fpm.d/cwpsvc.conf [cwpsvc] listen = /opt/alt/php-fpm72/usr/var/sockets/cwpsvc.sock listen.owner = cwpsvc listen.group = cwpsvc listen.mode = 0640 user = cwpsvc group = cwpsvc ;request_slowlog_timeout = 5s ;slowlog = /opt/alt/php-fpm72/

Connection Limit Protection: This option configures iptables to offer more protection from DOS attacks against specific ports. It can also be used as a way to simply limit resource usage by IP address to specific server services. This option limits the number of concurrent new connections per IP address that can be made to specific ports This feature does not work on servers that do not have the iptables module xt_connlimit loaded. Typically, this will be with MONOLITHIC kernels. VPS server admins should check with their VPS host provider that the iptables module is included Note: Run /etc/csf/csftest.pl to check whether this option will function on this server Step: Go to your CSF WebUI Panel and Select " Port Flood Settings" : You can set limit for the number of connections to particular port by altering the value “CONLIMIT”. CONNLIMIT = 80;20,443;15 The above value will limit only 20 connections to the port 80 and 15 connections to the port 443 from singl

MailScanner is a highly respected open source email security system design for Linux-based email gateways.
