  1. Sign in to your client area.
  2. Open Services.
  3. Select your VPS.
  4. Open Network.
  5. Click Firewall.

2. Add a rule

Click Add a rule.

Fill in the fields displayed by the form. The available options can include:

  • protocol.
  • port or port range.
  • source or destination.
  • action.
  • any additional criteria.

Review the rule before saving it.

3. Example: keep SSH access

Before adding restrictive rules, make sure SSH remains allowed.

The default SSH port is:

22/TCP

If you changed the SSH port on the server, allow the port you actually configured.

Warning: an incorrect firewall rule can lock you out of the VPS.

4. Rule order

Rules are processed from top to bottom.

Place important exceptions before broader rules when required by the rule set.

After changes, use Refresh to verify the displayed state.

5. If you lock yourself out

  1. Return to Network → Firewall.
  2. Correct or remove the problematic rule.
  3. Use the KVM Console under Tools if you need direct system access.
  4. Contact support if needed.
