    Default About APF firewall.. HELP

    I installed APF firewall and all configurations were fine.
    I have done this before with other servers too.

    After everything was setup and working properly, I restarted the firewall apf -r and then it threw me out.

    No I can't ping my ip, I don't see the cPanel setup page nor log into ssh to fix this.

    Is there anything I can do except os reload?

    Submit a TT at the data center and have em turn APF off.
    Login and edit the allow_hosts.rules, and add your own IP.

    **Edit: nevermind i re-read and you mention you cant get in via SSH**

    I had the same problem except I was able to get in via SSH. The issue was that I edited the wrong ports field and didn't add it to the right section so HTTPD, CPANEL, WHM, etc were all missing from the accessable ports.

    I though was able to get in via SSH and edit the config file and restart and all went well.

    And this is why firewalls such as APF need to ask you (Y/N) whether you want to block SSH or not. Completely rediculous.

    Or pehaps you should check things and use the developmental mode first.
