i have dedicated server with 3 ip addresses and only use one dedicated ip for my website. The main ip address is used for whm is not connected to site.
Now the question arose since i got too many notification for people trying to crack my whm password 5-20 attempts like every day now. i need to disable site.com/whm and site.com/cpanel and only being able to login to whm from the main ip address.
E.g.
whm - 201.220.11.59
site.com - 201.220.11.2
not used - 201.220.11.101
so i wan to only be able to access whm like this: 201.220.11.59/whm
or it can be any other trick as far as below statement is true
when someone goes to:
201.220.11.2/whm
201.220.11.2:cpanel
201.220.11.2:2087
201.220.11.2:2083
201.220.11.101/whm
201.220.11.101/whm
201.220.11.101:2087
201.220.11.101:2083
should lead to NOWHERE.
Logic's behind this is that no one know about 201.220.11.59 since it does not have any website on it.
P.S. ip is fake obviously.
P.P.S. i would just change port of cpanel maybee if there was no /whm and /cpanel shortcut.
