Cpanel block country password#
If I change the username and/or password of my WHM login, will that bugger up any access to other areas of the server, like the Mailman or databases? I am reluctant to change the password for WHM due to the fear I will lock myself out or break the mailman or databases for the packages on the server.ĥ) I have an SSL certificate that updates annually but everytime I navigate to the WHM login, I am notified of being non secure (non https). NOTE: I am on a Dynamic IP myself, so cannot just whitelist myself and blacklist others as my IP changes daily.Ĥ) This is a really basic question, I apologies in advance.

Without actual listed IP's or country codes, how could I stop them from brute force attacks. Their IP's are detailed as all zeros 000:000.
Cpanel block country code#
If I block the US from the Country Blacklist (as many attackers from US), will that cause problems considering the location of the server? And again, will I be denying US IP's access to the websites on the server.ģ) I noticed many attackers do not have a country code listed. I only log in from Canada so wanted to block all countries in the "Country Blacklist" except Canada however what I don't know is: When I block a country, am I blocking their access to my servers websites and any services or am I just blocking WHM/CPanel logins?Ģ) I am in Canada but the server is located in Huston Texas. I think my questions may be too basic or common knowledge for folks who run servers hence no discussions on the topics.ġ) I want to use cPHulk to block countries from logging into the server as I found a few countries (China and Russia) at the top of the list of attackers of my system. I have looked through this forum and other sites but can't find the strait answers. I have a few questions I am hoping the community can assist with. In any case, I was recently successfully attacked (brute force) and this sparked a requirement to learn more and institute some security on the server over and above what was defaulted. For someone not of an IT background, many of the acronyms and lingo can get a bit confusing. I have had a Dedicated Server for a few years now (running WHM) and never really paid too much mind to security (as I didn't know much about the subject). Great information here, can believe I haven't joined this forum till now.
