IPTables Firewall creates the standard /etc/sysconfig/iptables file used by iptables on Redhat (and CentOS) Linux based systems. One of the most important uses of iptables is to control what networks (ip ranges) have access to your server on a per port basis. This allows you to configure your server so only the ip's you choose can connect to the servers services.

Prevent Brute Force Attacks Brute Force Attacks are now a normal part of every day now. A hacker uses a simple program to connect to a service like ssh. Then hacker then tries a common username like "admin" or "root" and tries a commonly used password like "123456". If the login fails the hacker tries again with another password. Brute Force Attacks are now a proven way to gain access to a server. IPTables Firewall allows you to control access to your ssh port and as a result, the attack is blocked. The recent module is also used for dynamic blocking of FTP, POP3, and SSH attacks.

IPTables Firewall allows you to control access to all your ports so when the hacker tries to connect to a port you don't want then to connect to, the connection fails and so the attack fails to. If you happen to have the IPTables Firewall Logging turned on, you can use the web interface to investigate the blocked ip's whois, rDNS, routing, and Block it completely. You can also review the standard syslog message files for log messages of blocked ip's.

IPTables Firewall Online Demo The online demo is a working sample except that it uses a sample log file. The demo will automaticly reset itself every 15 minutes. There is no username and password by default. The first thing you will do is setup a username and password and then only that user will have access to the GUI. Please keep in mind that you should always firewall the gui port or turn it off when it's not in use, but this is not required. By default there are two ports not in the firewall. This is so you can see how the port probing works. The Services are pop3s and imaps. Click Here for the online demo.
