WHMCS-CSF Auto Unblocking Module - Let you customer unban themselves - Save 25%

[Snowman]

-You can change the IF statement to

 

{if $type == "server"}

 

or if you want it to be more specific to certain servers. You can do the following

 

{if $type == "server" && ($product == "server1" || $product "server2"))}

 

server1 and server2 being the product name of your server.

 

-Not at the moment. We may add this feature in the future, but it is not a guarantee.

 

Thanks for the advice on this, makes a lot of sense to me now

[LicenseChef]

Anyways, just updating this thread with some new features that will be included with the next release.

 

-admin unblocking, checking, blocking, (maybe whitelisting) within the WHMCS area

-URL verifier

-prevent end user/reseller from unblocking an IP if it is blocked manually by an administrator

 

The next release will be a major new release. So we are looking for dev time around a month or two.

Can denyhosts be supported as well ?

denyhosts.sf.net

 

Unfortunately no. CSF and denyhosts is two different program.

[sgrayban]

It might be 2 different programs but the unbaning is nearly the same

 

edit /etc/hosts.deny and search the IP and remove it

Doesn't seem like its as easy as it sound. To unban an IP, you need to edit the following files.

 

Stop DenyHosts

Remove the IP address from /etc/hosts.deny

Edit WORK_DIR/hosts and remove the lines containing the IP address. Save the file.

Edit WORK_DIR/hosts-restricted and remove the lines containing the IP address. Save the file.

Edit WORK_DIR/hosts-root and remove the lines containing the IP address. Save the file.

Edit WORK_DIR/hosts-valid and remove the lines containing the IP address. Save the file.

Edit WORK_DIR/user-hosts and remove the lines containing the IP address. Save the file.

(optional) Consider adding the IP address to WORK_DIR/allowed-hosts

Start DenyHosts

[sgrayban]

I wouldn't mind paying to have a denyhosts unban coded. It would save me countless of issues.

The updated template file for WHMCS 4.2.1 is now available for download.

[Snowman]

I have a strange issue that seems to be going on and im not sure why...

 

we have installed the module and set up a clients dedicated server within the module

 

it all appears ok and remotely and manually testing the script etc suggests everythgin is ok however in the client area when a client tries to check their IP or one of their clients IP;s we get returned an error message:

 

An error occuried while trying to connect to the hosting server.

 

there doesnt appear to be any error logging or anything so we are a t a bit of a loss to explain whats going on

 

the only thing different we have done is change the client template code to:

 

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" align="center" class="frame">
 <h3>Firewall Control</h3>
<tr><td class="fieldarea">
<center><font color="red"><strong>Cannot connect to the server? Read below for information</strong></font></center></td></tr>
<tr><td>We enforce a strict security and firewall systems on all of our servers to prevent abuse and attacks from outside of our network. If you are unable to connect to your server/account at the moment, please click the <b>Check IP Status</b> button below to check if you are blocked in our firewall.
<br /><br />If blocked, you will be able to request an automatic unblock from our firewall.</p>You should be able to access the server within 10 minutes of clicking the button below. Please make sure you do not have any FAILED log in attempt afterwards. Our firewall trace every single failed log in attempt to your account.
