Block IP for whole server through WHM or CPanel?

[Vaulter]

Hey guys! I am partners with a reseller I know and I cannot get access to the site unless I use a proxy or use a different IP. I dont know why, but I looked through the cpanel ip deny manager and didnt see my IP in there. Does anyone know how this can be? Thanks, Travis.

Do you have root access to the server? The server may have a firewall and your IP might be listed in it.

 

[Vaulter]

Yes I have root access. (SSH I hope is what you mean?) As for the firewall, that might be because I dont see any other way it would be blocked. It was working earlier in the day then it was blocked... :/ If I use a proxy, I can get on.. If not I cant access any site on the server, nor an ip of the server. Im puzzled.

Log into SSH and reset IPTables. Type:

service iptables restart

This happened to us, and that fixed it.

If APF is installed, you can run: apf -d <your IP address> - It will unblock you.

I need to block an IP from accessing our server. How do I do this please using SSH?

Thank you for your time.

Search the forum for block ip address iptables and you'll find the answer.

Maybe stupid, but why can't this be an option in WHM? It is per account in cPanel, so why not also in the WHM for the entire server?

Do not use -d to your ip address. It's the command to add ip to deny list.

-s|--start ......................... load firewall policies
-r|--restart ....................... flush & load firewall
-f|--flush|--stop .................. flush firewall
-l|--list .......................... list chain rules
-st|--status ....................... firewall status
-a HOST CMT|--allow HOST COMMENT ... add host (IP/FQDN) to allow_hosts.rules and immediately load new rule into firewall
-d HOST CMT|--deny HOST COMMENT .... add host (IP/FQDN) to deny_hosts.rules and immediately load new rule into firewall

If you're using APF. Make sure that your ip don't have in deny list. Type..
#vi /etc/apf/deny_hosts.rules
If you've see your ip in the list just delete that line then press esc button and type ":wq" then enter

Then allow your ip address by the following command.
#apf -a <your ip address to allow access>

Then restart your APF by the following command
#apf -r

done!
