Firewall panel? Nope, sorry.
I notice LetBox (@key900
) has a simple firewall section in their WHMCS panel. I'm curious to know more about how this works myself, just a thought for further investigation.(And, LetBox may have something in your budget with flexible block storage in Los Angeles)
LetBox normal BBox-1 LA normal plan has $4/m for 250GB storage ($3.5 regular + $0.5 storage). It has a firewall feature, which I personally never used. Or @key900 could do a better offer since he is doing 3TB for $7
You can use my aff link or non aff link to order
Good find @uptime and @sanvit, never noticed that firewall feature - nice! I usually just use iptables in my VPS though, but it's handy that there is a panel for the terminal averse
I tend to use firewalls on the panel (if I use firewall at all) since it's easier to revert when I f**k up some rules :P
just to confirm (I have been wondering) - I'm guessing the LetBox "firewall" interface in the WHMCS panel is used to control a firewall process on the VPS instance itself rather than some separate firewall ...? (So might only work for some standard installation from template?)
LetBox use Proxmox as the hypervisor, and a firewall is an integral part of Proxmox, from a networking perspective of how it works. You have a bridge adapter that the VMs communicate, through the host, and there's actually virtual adapters for each VM that is where the firewall sits.
Your VM -> virtual adaptor -> vmbr0 -> eth0 -> internet
If I'm wrong, I really want to be corrected because I use Proxmox daily lol
i went with ramnode in the end
Probably a decent choice. I had a few vps with them years ago. Solid provider.
Have you configured LetBox's firewall, though? I tried to configure a sample rule and got errors about the nic. Asked on Discourse and no response. So I'm curious if anyone is using that feature with Letbox.
@TimboJones I haven't actually used their firewall. I will have a look and a little later today and see if it works..
