firewall

[milan]

Im looking for a good firewall for on my debian server.

With kiss i get an error:

server1:~# /usr/bin/kiss
Since the ip_tables, ipt_state, and/or ipt_multiport modules do not exist, KISS can not function. Firewall script aborted!

I think this error shows because im using debian if im right. Could you anyone advise me a firewall that runs good with debian for a webhoster?

thanks

among other things it also describes the error you're seeing.

I've gotten APF to work, at least partially. I'm still working through a few of the quirks.

another firewall i used before is gshield.
pretty easy to use

[kawing05]

hi roelp, any guide for gshield? did this firewall run with DA with no problem? please kindly advise. Thanks!

[roelp]

I haven't tried it with DA, but it should be no problem as long as you open all needed ports 25/80/110/443/2222/...

kiss and apf+bfd should both work on Debian Gnu Linux. Search these forums.

It all went well. ssh is still up. When i 1st whent to da admin it would not conntect to the url. I stoped kiss and started again and now i can login on da panel.

Now some of my admin sites do not work:

www.Noxiousx.com
and www.host-innovation.com

They are on a different ip then the server ip could this be the problem?

I will go for an other firewall.

APF (Advanced Policy Firewall)

I installed kiss firewall in some of my servers and apf in some of my servers.
I installed kiss from the following website
http://dev.flummo.com/directadmin/kiss

apf installation is also quite simple
read this document will help you to install apf

Both kiss and apf are covered thoroughly right here on the DA forums :) .
