FlashPanel

Security ​

Overview ​

The Security group in the server menu brings together the pages that help you prevent unauthorized access to your server. This page summarizes those features and points you to the detailed guide for each one.

Pages in the Security group ​

  • SSH: change SSH settings such as the port, password login and how root may log in.
  • Server SSH Keys: manage the SSH keys allowed to log in to the server.
  • Firewall Rules: open only the ports you really need.
  • Fail2Ban: automatically block IP addresses that keep guessing passwords or attacking the server.

Auto update system ​

Regular updates patch publicly known vulnerabilities in the operating system and installed packages. The Auto Update System card is on the server's Settings page. See Auto update system for the guide.

  • Resource Protection: prevent accidental deletion or destructive actions on important servers and websites.
  • Grant Root Access: let FlashPanel regain root access to manage the server.
