For those who report getting IP blocked, (@lovelyserver @Akoylini @hostnoob and maybe others), are you all using Nextcloud by any chance?
I've managed to get a few IPs blocked using Nextcloud and lot of uploads, but I have plenty of relays so I've been too lazy to open a ticket for it. I will reproduce it and open a ticket when I get time though.
I'm pretty sure the issue is ModSecurity triggering and blocking the IP, so ideally you need to open a ticket to tell @labze the time it occurs, what you were doing when it happened and which IP got blocked. That way he can check the logs, test the behaviour and update the rule so you're not getting blocked every time you do X action.
dear hyperblast
If you frequently get blocked then you can disable ModSecurity in your DirectAdmin account.
DirectAdmin -> ModSecurity -> SecRuleEngine -> Off
You should also be able to see from the log which rule gets you blocked in case you want to keep it active but just disable the rule(s) that cause this.
You can just import your contacts into nextcloud from a local file and that'll reliably get you blocked if you have 400+ contacts! Took me a while to figure this out. Once I disabled the security alerts nextcloud was constantly triggering, the whole thing started to work very nicely indeed.
This is the list, in case you were wondering:
210492
210710
210730
212740
I didn't double check them so maybe not all 4 are necessary, but that is what worked for me. Didn't get blocked ever since.
Edit: Now that I think about it, I may have done the import by importing from the files app instead. Not sure any more. In any case, I randomly got blocked before those exceptions, and now I don't.
Hey! Any plans/possibility to add nginx along with Apache for the storage plans?
EDIT: Also, possible to upgrade to a bigger plan within the ones offered (such as from 1 TB DA storage to 2 TB DA storage)?
Sincerely
No plans for nginx.
You can upgrade at any time, just open a ticket for this.
One shouldn't use FTP at this age.
Well, that's what is offered. I didn't see an option to create additional ssh/sftp logins, though it is entirely possible that I am just too dense to see where I can do that.
What's the problem with FTP?
FTPS option is available.
FTP send plain text for authentication.
So enable encryption then?
Perfect. That means I can resolve it for myself so I'll do some testing when I have time 😎
You got an answer to your tickets?
Currently uploading to the storage is faster than any downloads I do in my computer from any site including torrents.....
What magic did @labze did lol.
Performance is awesome!> @itachikonoha said:
I was able to saturate my gigabit uplink!
What is the monthly bandwidth limit BTW?
ok this is good news, thanks for the update guys
it's time for me to order one
Should be on the DA panel.
Have you tried clicking first page of this thread and read the offer [that you actually bought]?
@labze can you enable ipv6 for da storage box? Awkward to say that I subscribed an ipv6 only vps to use with this storage box only to realize that it doesn't have ipv6.
Nope. I saw €7/year and I bought lol. It is from hostbrr so I trust that he will give a reasonable quota.
Hi! I really don't want to be a nuisance but is there any possibility of completing my upgrade request during the next 24? I see no option to change priority of my support ticket.
The reason for my question is that I (of course my luck) apparently have an 1 TB SSD with bad sectors and I would very much love to be able to upload my backup.
Again, sorry to bother, I can just never have anything just work in my life...

DirectAdmin does not hard cap storage so you can just exceed your package limits until it gets upgraded.
In normal cases a user will get prompted to reduce usage or upgrade a package.
You have saved me so much headache, thank you!!!
@labze Can $7 package be upgraded to $15?
Are you sure you dont have any IPv6? You can check the DNS management for your IPv6 adress.
Yes it can, by opening a ticket. He just said that above in this page
@labze if I have a service on ftp2 is it possible to have a second service provisioned on another server?
I found that the "FTP accounts" created on DirectAdmin can be used not only with FTP(S) but actually also with SFTP. You just need to use port 23 (not 22) for SFTP.
