    I'm accessing my WHM/Webmail through https://myserver.mydomain.com:2087 (or :2083)

    But I can also use the IP address directly and it will work, but of course not the HTTPS.
    Is it possible to force it to redirect to a domain ?

    Have you tried accessing via example.com/cpanel or example.com/whm?

    No, directly https://x.x.x.x:2087

    accessing /whm or /cpanel does direct me to the corresponding port

    Hello,

    There are no options available to automatically redirect users who utilize the specific port numbers in the URL. The options under the "Redirection" tab in "WHM >> Tweak Settings" are available to redirect users to the SSL/TLS ports when visiting /cpanel, /webmail, /whm, etc. Here's a post you may find helpful if you are open to a custom firewall workaround (it's for a different purpose but the same concept applies):

    SOLVED - Prevent domain.com:2082 logins

    Thank you.

    I'm not sure I get how this can help me, since myserver.mydomain.com already resolve to the same IP I'm trying to block the access from.

    Can I do something like this ?
    w.x.y.z|2083|myserver.mydomain.com|2083|tcp

    Hello,

    It would only apply as a workaround if your accounts resolved to separate IP addresses and accessed cPanel/WHM via their domain name (e.g. domain.tld/cpanel). If it's the same IP address, then there's no other workaround I'm aware of.

    Thank you.
