Plesk-Firewall-CLI-Helper

Plesk Firewall's CLI tools are pretty bad. This helps by emulating how CSF works via CLI

Installation Instructions

• On Plesk server, ensure you have the Plesk firewall extension enabled
• For optimal performance, enable fail2ban as well.
• For lots of banned IPs use fail2ban with jail iptables-ipset-proto6.conf for allports banning.
• Via SSH, as root, run:

curl -o /usr/local/bin/pfw https://raw.githubusercontent.com/websavers/Plesk-Firewall-CLI-Helper/master/pfw
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pfw
ln -s /usr/local/bin/pfw /usr/bin/pfw

Note: The symlink ensures pfw is available as a command by being in the $PATH var.

Usage

pfw -d [ip] -- blocks an IP address

Future

We're open to pull requests to add functionality like potentially:

• pfw -r [ip] to remove the IP from the block list
• pfw -a [ip] -p [port] to allow an IP and Port combination
