Different ways to access the VestaCP Panel

[cyclone200]

Hello,

Actually, I can access the VestaCP panel with a lot of ways: MY-IP:8083, MY-SERVER-HOSTNAME:8083, SITE1:8083, SITE2:8083...

Basically every domains.

Is there a way to limit only to one solution? Let's say only login with my server hostname?

Thank you.

I use MY-IP:8083 and is working properly

You can make a rule in Firewall to deny all access to 8083 but allow only, something like this

Code: Select all

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp ! -s yourIPaddress --dport 8083 -j DROP

Be very very cautious, make sure you have console access to your server before playing with firewall, you can lose access to whole server

The easiest way, is using Vesta's templates.

Main Vesta site has locations for your distro. (Assuming nginx reverse proxy).

In nginx templates for proxy:
Copy default.tpl and default.stpl to vesta_proxy.tpl and vesta_proxy.stpl repectively.

Change the %proxy_port% (not looking at the files, I'm on mobile) to 8083. Save them.

Then create a subdomain of your site. Say 'cp.mydomain.tld' and choose proxy template we created.

Visit in browser. Make sure it works.

Firewall -> add a rule, drop/block 8083 port.

Now, outside can not access it, but cp.mydomain.tld can.

Easy :-)
