Ban IP Address from server..

[Swampfox]

Hello, I am trying to ban three IP addresses from my four servers. I have WHM/Cpanel on each server.
I am familiar with "IP Deny Manager" in cPanel.
I do not know if blocking a IP address on cPanel blocks it for everyone on my server or only for my website space.

Can someone please tell me how to block a IP address from my entire server?

Thanks,

Hi,
If you will block the IPs from cPanel >> IP Deny Manager, then it will only be specific to that domain. If you want to block IPs for all of the domains on the server and if you have IPTables installed on your server (Firewall), then type this command and repalce an IP (ip.ip.ip.ip) according to your needs:

]# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s ip.ip.ip.ip -j REJECT

Thank you Very Much

Another way to do it is the following:

iptables -N BLOCKING && iptables -A BLOCKING -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j DROP

And to check to see if it is blocked, do:

ifconfig eth0 xxx.xx.xxx.xx

If there is no output, then it is blocked!

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s ip.ip.ip.ip -j REJECT

What is the command to unban an ip# if you used the above to ban ??

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s ip.ip.ip.ip -j ACCEPT ???
