Any recommendations for a firewall for a CentOS 6.4 server?
Any recommendations for a firewall for a CentOS 6.4 server? Geeks, making the world a better place |
CentOS already comes with one that works well. iptables. It's what i use. Pretty much all linux distros have it. It's like the industry standard. https://www.deanbassett.com |
I may use iptables. I was looking at the ones that can do a bit more, examining packets etc. Installed one that took my server completely down; that is one way to secure a server LOL, prevent ANYONE, including the admins, from being able to access it. Geeks, making the world a better place |
If you really need too secure, too good firewall you will need a hardware firewall. For me iptable is fine so much to do.... |

For me iptable is fine Yes, I contacted the company I am leasing the dedi from but can not afford the fees at this time. I think I will just go ahead and set up iptables. I am not sure what happened with the one I installed, I had it on the minimum default config and just wanted to test it out. Geeks, making the world a better place |
iptable should be enough, unless you are target of some people. so much to do.... |
~~Mike ~~ This Signature is missing something :( |
Yep, that is the one, took the server completely down. No thanks. Geeks, making the world a better place |
CSF is a free frontend for IPTables. In other words you can use IPTables without CSF but not the other way around.
IPTables + CSF + mod_security is hard to beat.

If it is just a frontend, then shouldn't that be iptables + mod_security is hard to beat? I am just going to set up iptables using the command line. Geeks, making the world a better place |
I like CSF so in my opinion IPTables + CSF + mod_security is hard to beat.
