Our 1Gbps VPS and Bare Metal servers come with myFalcon Firewall Manager at no extra cost. This manager, integrated directly into our Client Area allows for direct management of your DDoS protected IPs. Firewall Rules, Rate Limiters, Custom Layer 3-7 Filters, and Attack History are visible from our online portal.
Firewall Rules can be configured by clicking on Firewall in our Client Area and clicking on Manage Firewall next to the IP you wish to manage:
For newly activated VPS and Bare Metal servers on our 1Gbps network, our systems come configured with a closed DENY-ALL rule. This allows for proper security on your server. Once ready, launch your myFalcon Firewall Manager to setup Rules and create a Allow All rule for the Source IP of your home connection. You can get your home IP by visiting https://ipinfo.io. When specifying the source IP, add /32 at the end. For example, if your home IP was 23.143.40.150, you would put 23.143.40.150/32 as the source IP. /32 designates single IP addresses in the networking space.
Rules define what is either whitelisted (allowed) or blacklisted (denied). Game servers require specific ports to be placed in your Firewall Rules to allow proper communication. If you have any questions on the proper configuration for your specific game server, please contact our Technical Support team by opening a ticket in our Client Area.
If you require any assistance with managing the firewall rules on your DDoS Protected IPs, please reach out to our Technical Support Team in our Client Area for assistance.
