Secure your servers with built-in firewall controls
Block malicious traffic, whitelist trusted IPs, and monitor auto-bans all from your EasyEngine Dashboard.
Key Highlights
Whitelisted IPs
Add trusted IPs that always bypass firewall rules.
Lowest priority for blocking; ensures your team, internal tools, and partner systems stay connected.
Blacklisted IPs
Block known bad IPs proactively (bots, proxies, suspicious sources).
Whitelisted entries always override any blacklist to prevent false blocks.
Auto-Banned IPs
Automatically blocks IPs exhibiting suspicious behaviour (failed logins, XML-RPC abuse, crawler flood).
View and manage auto-bans: IP Address, Reason, ASN, Country, Expiration.
Server-Level Control
Enable or disable the firewall per server from the Dashboard.
Fully managed through the UI.
