Banning an IP

[Chriz1977]

Hi

I need to ban an IP from my server. Is there an option in WHM to do that?

Cheers
Chriz

Hello,

As I know WHM doesn't have such option. However, if your box works under Linux, then you can ban the IP by:

#route add XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX reject

to unlock the IP, please use:

#route del XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX reject

You could always install Chirpy's fantastic (free!) security suite:

... or, APF from http://www.rfxnetworks.com/apf.php, pretty straight-forward installation, and after you do it, just issue a /etc/apf/apf -d IP command, and you will ban that IP address..
