Configure hypervisor-level firewall rules for your VPS directly from the portal. Allow or block traffic by IP address and port without touching your server.

  1. Log into the Client Portal.
  2. Select your VPS under "My Services".
  3. Navigate to the "Firewall" tab in the service dashboard.
  4. Add rules to allow or block specific IP addresses or IP ranges.
  5. Add rules to allow or block specific ports or protocols (e.g., allow port 22 for SSH, allow ports 80 and 443 for web traffic).
  6. Save and apply. Changes take effect within 30 seconds with no reboot required.

What this firewall does: Rules are enforced at the hypervisor level (Proxmox ipfilter), before traffic reaches your VPS. You can permit or deny traffic by source IP and destination port. It does not provide DDoS mitigation. For volumetric attack protection, contact support.

Tip: Combine portal firewall rules with a server-side firewall (e.g., UFW or iptables) for layered control.
