Configuring Firewall in Normal Mode

Linux In the normal mode the rules you delete or add are called access rules. The Container access rules are pre-set groups of standard firewall rules. Each access rule refers to a most widely used service and corresponds to a number of standard firewall rules that ensure the availability of this service. In the normal mode each access rule is dealt with as a single entity. This implies that enabling or disabling an access rule results in enabling or disabling all the standard firewall rules it corresponds to. By default, 8 preset access rules are active:

  1. Access to outer world;
  2. DNS server;
  3. Internal Services;
  4. Mail server;
  5. Plesk service;
  6. POP3 server;
  7. SSH server;
  8. WEB server.

The remaining access rules that are not enabled by default can be added on the page, which you can access by clicking Add Access Rule.

To delete a rule, select one of the check boxes on the right of the screen, click Delete over the check boxes, and then OK to confirm. To delete all the rules, select the uppermost check box, click Delete over the check boxes, and then OK to confirm. Note that no access rules can be permanently deleted from the system. A deleted rule is, in fact, temporarily disabled and can be enabled back as described on the Adding Access Rule in Normal Mode subsection.

To change the mode, click Firewall Setup.

Note: If this page informs you that you cannot manage firewall on this Container, refer to the Dealing With Misconfigured Firewall subsection.
