- By default the firewall will block all connections. You must add the appropriate protocol and port combinations to allow access to your applications.
- Firewall rules will only apply to new connections. Restarting the applicable services on your server should terminate any existing connections.
- A firewall can help in certain smaller attacks, but your server may still be null routed if you are hit with a large attack. We would suggest purchasing DDOS protection if attacks are a problem for you.
- You can add up to 50 rules per firewall group. A firewall group may be attached to one or more servers.
