WHM Restrict Access

[grayloon]

I need to access WHM from home, but I don't have my home IP in list of allowed IP's. I can SSH into my server. Is there a way I can update my list of allowed IP's from the command line?

Yes, you can add the Ip in the allow list from the command line.

Open the file

root@server [~]# vi /etc/hosts.allow

At the bottom of the file you will have a entry

sshd : ALL : deny

Above the quoted entry add the line so that WHM can be accessed from the home IP

whostmgrd : 10.10.10.1 : allow

Which will look like

whostmgrd : 10.10.10.1 : allow
sshd : ALL : deny

Hope this helps

Note :: Replace the IP 10.10.10.1 with your original machine's Ip

I don't have a 'sshd : ALL : deny' line.

Can you let me know the entry at the bottom in the /etc/hosts.allow file on the server ? Or do you want to add the Ip in the csf firewall's allow list ?

I'm curious. You can SSH to the server but not get into WHM, why? Your IP shouldn't be blocked. If it was SSH wouldn't be reachable either.

My firewall was allowing my IP for SSH but blocking for WHM ports. Doh!
